UNSPSC 50334943: Dried organic ruby sweet nectarines

The variety of organic nectarines known as organic ruby sweet nectarines that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50334943 Dried organic ruby sweet nectarines, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently posted under this code designation. The recent opportunities assigned to this code span fresh produce and broader food commodities for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, but none specifically solicit dried nectarines or nectarine products. The Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spans over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty items, with no mention of dried nectarines. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicitation requests 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products with no dried fruit specification. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB covers proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and fresh and canned vegetables and fruits with no dried nectarine line items. Only one posting—a TDCJ bid for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality—directly solicits a dried fruit commodity, but it targets prunes, not nectarines. The issuing bodies active under this code designation are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education), municipal school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice and the State of Georgia), and state food procurement divisions.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Schools opportunity (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) requires sealed bids for fresh produce deliveries to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing including transportation. The Bridgeport Board of Education opportunity (electronic submission due June 26, 2026) solicits commodities through the OpenGov Procurement Portal with Net 45 payment terms and contract run-through June 30, 2027. Both school nutrition solicitations require 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content under Buy American provisions and accept single or multiple vendor awards. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope—dried organic ruby sweet nectarines—and the actual procurement activity suggests this code should be re-examined for alignment with the work being solicited, or that dried nectarines are not currently a targeted procurement item under state and local food and nutrition contracts.
