UNSPSC 50324949: Dried summer blush nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50324949 Dried summer blush nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried fruits primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional food services. The recent solicitations under this code show school districts and county detention facilities sourcing dried and fresh produce—including dried nectarines, dried raisins, dried cranberries, and tropical fruit mixes—as line items within larger annual nutrition contracts that span hundreds of produce categories. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (elementary through high school), county school systems serving 20,000+ students, and county correctional facilities. These entities consolidate fruit procurement into master grocery or food-supply contracts issued as IFBs or RFPs with firm-fixed pricing for 12-month terms, often renewable for multiple one-year extensions. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content on processed products, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, and nutritional standards limiting added sugars appear consistently across school district solicitations. School districts typically award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis to maintain supply redundancy.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood School District), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (TDCJ correctional facilities and state procurement). Recent representative solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (IFB SN002-2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering 200+ fresh-produce line items with deliveries to three school sites), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (RFP covering 900+ grocery items due April 29, 2026 for July 2026–June 2027 performance), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323 due April 27, 2026 for 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), and Santa Clara County Office of the Sheriff (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical-fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans due February 5, 2026 to support detention food services). School districts dominate recent volume; correctional facilities represent a secondary but consistent segment. Contract values for large district procurements reach millions annually (Douglas County's food supply RFP estimated $9 million; GEC Buying Cooperative produce RFP for 30 districts estimated $5.5 million combined), though individual line-item volumes for specialty dried fruits such as nectarines remain modest relative to fresh-fruit staples like apples and bananas.
