UNSPSC 50324935: Dried red diamond nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324935 Dried red diamond nectarines is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products procured by state and local education and correctional agencies to supply cafeteria and nutrition operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state departments purchasing dried fruit as components of broader fresh-produce and food-commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code appears in state and local procurement primarily as a subordinate commodity within larger nutrition-supply agreements. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (county boards of education, municipal school boards) and state corrections and nutrition agencies. These jurisdictions procure dried fruit to meet nutrition requirements under federal school lunch programs and institutional food service operations, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic-content percentages for processed products.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a due date of June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across the 2026-27 school year; the scope encompasses multiple fruit categories but does not isolate dried nectarines as a discrete line item. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, also due June 26, 2026, for 115 commodity line items supplying the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with fruit and vegetable products included but specific dried-fruit items not individually detailed in the available summary. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, via the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, encompassing approximately 382 food line items for institutional cafeteria supply; dried fruit is not explicitly named in the published scope. The code shows limited standalone recent procurement activity; state and local buyers appear to source dried fruit through broader food-commodity and fresh-produce aggregated buys rather than as isolated specialized procurements.
