UNSPSC 50324945: Dried september red nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324945 Dried september red nectarines, a Commodity code, describes specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food service operations. The recent solicitations show that state and local buyers under this code are seeking dried and specialty fruit items as components within broader food supply contracts rather than as standalone line items—the code appears alongside fresh produce, canned vegetables, proteins, and other cafeteria staples in school district and state agency procurement. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). The solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance requiring at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products, USDA grade certification, HACCP food safety plans where applicable, and firm fixed pricing over contract periods running twelve to twenty-four months.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Texas, with activity concentrated in school nutrition procurement and state facility food service. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce under SY27 (response due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items including specialty fruits; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted a commodities IFB (due June 26, 2026) for 115 line items supplying the Board of Education Nutrition Center; the State of Georgia solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) with detailed scope in an attached document; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted an IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2) covering approximately 382 line items with FOB Destination pricing. A separate TDCJ bid (IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60–70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location, demonstrates direct procurement of dried fruit products; however, the response date listed (February 20, 2026) predates the posting date and likely reflects a closed or amended opportunity.
