UNSPSC 50324938: Dried red roy nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324938 Dried red roy nectarines is a Commodity code covering dehydrated stone fruit products supplied to state and local school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. The recent solicitations under this code show that state and local governments procure dried fruit primarily as component ingredients and standalone menu items for cafeteria operations, with specifications often including USDA grade certification, precise sizing standards, and packaging in sealed food-grade containers. Issuing bodies include county school boards (Hancock County Schools in Georgia), city school nutrition centers (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies managing institutional food services (Georgia Department of Education and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and multi-site correctional facility kitchen supply operations. School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, driven by Buy American provisions under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products.
