UNSPSC 50324926: Dried hardired nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324926 Dried hardened nectarines is a Commodity code representing specific produce items that state and local governments procure through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that this code, while nominally narrowly scoped to a single dried-fruit product, is being applied to broader fresh and processed produce procurement — school districts and state agencies are treating it as part of wider commodity food buys that span fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, and related items for cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies soliciting under or adjacent to this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state-level procurement offices coordinating on behalf of multiple institutional customers. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products appear consistently across these solicitations, and all respondents must provide HACCP or equivalent food-safety certifications, debarment verification, and insurance documentation.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response date and contract period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a broad commodities RFQ (BNB053266) on June 2, 2026 with a June 26, 2026 deadline, covering 115 line items for school nutrition including eggs, poultry, cheese, and produce. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. 304T-26-300CF via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products with an extended due date of May 4, 2026. A Texas TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IW236532, minimum order 1,400 boxes at 25 pounds per box, U.S. Grade B) was due February 20, 2026. This code shows consistent institutional food-service demand but sees limited recent state-and-local-specific solicitation activity tied directly to dried nectarines alone; most opportunities tag the code as part of multi-category produce or cafeteria food aggregations.
