UNSPSC 50324944: Dried ruddy jewel nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324944 Dried ruddy jewel nectarines is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single dried fruit product — ruddy jewel nectarines — but the recent opportunities sourced under this code span broad food service procurement across multiple categories including fresh produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous staple items for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. No recent solicitation explicitly requests dried ruddy jewel nectarines as a line item, and the code's narrow product focus does not match the scope of actual state and local purchasing activity.

The most-recent opportunities show active food service procurement by school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia), a municipal school system (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases), a county correctional facility (County of Santa Clara, California Sheriff's Office), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice across IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, California, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce due June 26, 2026 (spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items with delivery to three school locations), and the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts due February 5, 2026 (requesting dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for correctional food services). The code shows sufficient procurement activity in the dried fruit category to warrant monitoring, but the specificity of "dried ruddy jewel nectarines" as a single SKU appears misaligned with how state and local buyers actually source dried fruit products — typically as part of broader food commodity buys rather than single-item specialty fruit contracts.
