UNSPSC 50324918: Dried fantasia nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as fantasia nectarines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50324918 Dried fantasia nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through school nutrition programs and correctional food services. The code captures dried stone fruit — specifically nectarines processed and dried to shelf-stable form — for use in institutional meal programs. Recent solicitations show school districts and county correctional systems buying dried fruit and nut products as components of broader food service procurement. The State of Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System have all issued RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for food products in the past six months. A secondary pattern appears in state and county correctional facilities: the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department both procure dried fruits and nuts for inmate food services, with Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 specifying dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes alongside nuts for its Elmwood Correctional Facility, and TDCJ's IFB 304T-26-300CF covering cafeteria food across multiple warehouse locations.

Activity clusters in school districts across Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Virginia. The most recent and directly relevant opportunity is Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 (due February 5, 2026) for dried fruits and nuts serving the Office of the Sheriff Department of Correction, which names specific line items for dried raisins and cranberries alongside nuts. For school nutrition, Hancock County Schools' IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) and Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for Food Products (due April 29, 2026) both solicit broad fresh-produce and food-product portfolios rather than isolated dried-fruit SKUs. The Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) specified fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million in one area and $1.1 million in another. Dried fantasia nectarines, being a specialty shelf-stable item, do not appear to be a high-volume standalone line item in the recent block; most opportunities bundle dried fruits within larger grocery or commodity buys. This code signals limited independent procurement activity and is best pursued as part of master grocery or commodity distributorship relationships rather than as a standalone SKU.
