UNSPSC 50344902: Frozen arctic mist nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as arctic mist nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344902 Frozen arctic mist nectarines is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this designation. Recent solicitations tagged with this code procure general groceries, fresh produce, frozen foods, and food service supplies for school districts, state health agencies, correctional facilities, and child nutrition programs — commodity categories bearing no relationship to frozen nectarines of any variety. The code shows substantial procurement activity across multiple state and local issuing bodies, but the activity is fundamentally misclassified.

State and local procurement offices in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, California, Oregon, and elsewhere are issuing IFBs and RFPs for comprehensive food and supply contracts ranging from $32,000 to $9 million annually. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple solicitations (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792) for groceries and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers, with response dates in June and July 2026. School districts dominate the recent opportunities — Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bulloch County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Early County Schools (Georgia), and Fulton County Schools (Georgia) — all soliciting food and supplies on annual or multi-year contracts due between February and June 2026. Head Start of Greater Dallas solicited groceries for child care under CACFP with an estimated value of $969,460.94. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued an RFP for food supply and distribution services valued at approximately $9 million annually. Santa Clara County (California) and Oregon Department of Corrections have solicited specialized food items (dried fruits and nuts, frozen berries) for institutional use. None of these opportunities align with the code's stated commodity — frozen arctic mist nectarines. The code appears to be either abandoned in practice or systematically misapplied by state and local procurement offices, making it an unreliable signal for business development targeting genuine frozen fruit demand.
