UNSPSC 50344907: Frozen august fire nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as august fire nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344907 Frozen august fire nectarines is a Commodity code with no recent state or local solicitation activity matching its scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span institutional grocery procurement for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county food services, but none specifically solicit frozen august fire nectarines or other frozen stone fruit by varietal name. The code title references a specific nectarine cultivar, yet the actual solicitations posted against it request broad categories of frozen vegetables, fresh produce, or mixed frozen food products — including frozen apples, frozen mixed vegetables, and general frozen food lines — without reference to frozen nectarines of any type. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) represents the largest recent issuer, with five separate IFBs for frozen or general food products across state facilities (Big Spring State Hospital, Mexia State Supported Living Center, El Paso State Supported Living Center, and statewide institutional frozen food); Georgia, New Jersey, Connecticut, Oregon, and school districts in Mississippi and Georgia also posted food-procurement activities. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, New Jersey, and Mississippi in the recent postings.

This code shows little prospect for near-term activity as currently classified. The mismatch between the commodity title (a specific frozen nectarine type) and the actual work being solicited (bulk grocery, frozen vegetable, and institutional food items sold by broad category rather than cultivar) suggests either a taxonomy miscoding or obsolete classification in state procurement systems. Firms pursuing frozen stone-fruit sales to state and local institutions should verify the correct UNSPSC code with purchasing offices before bid preparation, as opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect frozen nectarine demand.
