UNSPSC 50324934: Dried mericrest nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324934 Dried mericrest nectarines is a Commodity code that covers a narrow, specialized dried fruit item with minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting dried mericrest nectarines; instead, the records show school districts, counties, and state agencies soliciting broad fresh produce, dried fruit assortments, and general grocery categories that may incidentally include dried nectarines as one line item among dozens or hundreds. One solicitation—Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts serving its correctional facility—requests dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis, but does not name dried mericrest nectarines. The code's nominal scope and the actual purchasing patterns in recent state and local solicitations do not align, suggesting either mislabeling in the procurement system or that this specific dried nectarine variety is not a material procurement driver in the available market.

State and local food procurement in the recent records is dominated by school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, and Fairfax County in Virginia), correctional and detention agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department), and state procurement offices. These buyers source dried fruits as secondary line items within broader grocery or produce buys—for example, Texas TDCJ's cafeteria food procurement of 382 line items and Santa Clara County's dedicated dried fruit contract. Recent activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and counties), with additional solicitations in Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and California. The code shows no distinct market concentration or repeat buying pattern specific to dried mericrest nectarines.
