UNSPSC 50344909: Frozen august red nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50344909 Frozen august red nectarines is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices classify generically under frozen fruit procurement, though the recent solicitation activity does not demonstrate direct demand for frozen nectarines specifically. State and local governments buying under this code purchase shelf-stable and frozen food products for institutional feeding programs — primarily state health and human services agencies operating state hospitals and supported living centers, county and municipal school districts, and specialized food-service operations at parks and recreational facilities. The issuing bodies span state health departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Collier County, Florida; Hancock County, Georgia; Early County, Georgia), city school systems (Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and specialized institutions (Head Start of Greater Dallas). State hospitals and supported living centers are the dominant repeat buyers, issuing multiple competitive solicitations annually for annual or multi-year food supply contracts.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's frozen food products procurement for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017338V1, posted July 17, 2026, bids due August 18, 2026), covering 106 line items of frozen baked goods, prepared entrees, proteins, and vegetables with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum contract value of $19 million over the full period; the Oregon Department of Corrections procurement for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (IFB S2910000017684, posted August 5, 2026, bids due August 19, 2026) with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent; and the New Jersey Department of Human Services rebid for frozen vegetables in mixed or California blend varieties for state nutrition assistance programs (T1103 26DPP01307, posted May 15, 2026, sealed bids due June 17, 2026). The code shows no direct recent solicitation for frozen nectarines; activity centers on institutional food-service bundled procurements where frozen fruit appears as one component among proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared entrees rather than as a standalone commodity line.
