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 match the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement activity. Recent opportunities tagged with this code procure institutional food service items — proteins, fresh produce, frozen vegetables, dairy products, pantry staples, beverages, and disposable food service supplies — for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, county social services, and Head Start programs. The code's nominal scope names a specific specialty frozen fruit product; the actual solicitations span broad food-service procurement across dozens of commodity types for institutional dining, nutrition assistance, and school lunch programs.

Issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education and county commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Hancock County, Georgia; Early County, Georgia), city procurement offices (City of Bridgeport), state departments (Georgia, New Jersey), and nonprofit food-service operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas). Recent opportunities span Texas (multiple HHSC state facility food contracts), Georgia (county school boards and Gwinnett County), Florida (Collier County regional park food services), Oregon (ODOC frozen produce), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and New Jersey (state frozen vegetable distribution). Representative solicitations include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017660V2 for approximately 100 line items of groceries and food supplies for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due August 28, 2026), Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products (quotes due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items (bids due June 26, 2026), and the State of New Jersey's partial rebid T1103 for frozen mixed vegetables (bids due June 17, 2026). The code shows sustained activity but with a fundamental mismatch between its stated commodity and the actual institutional food-service procurement occurring under it.
