UNSPSC 50344911: Frozen big john nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as big john nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344911 Frozen big john nectarines, a Commodity code, names a specific frozen fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not align with that narrow scope. The posted opportunities instead reflect broad institutional food-service procurement across produce, proteins, dairy, pantry staples, and consumable supplies — suggesting the code is used as a catch-all classification for fruit and vegetable line items within larger food-service solicitations rather than as a dedicated channel for nectarines alone. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Collier County), school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and non-profit organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas). State health and human services departments and institutional food-service divisions for correctional, long-term care, and state hospital systems are the primary repeat buyers, typically procuring on multi-year contracts with renewal and extension options.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, and New Jersey based on recent postings from August through October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with quotes due October 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017338 for 106 line items of frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with bids due August 18, 2026 and estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and other fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat for child care programs with a total estimated procurement value of $969,460.94. Solicitations are primarily issued as IFBs and ITNs with response periods typically ranging from two to six weeks; pricing is firm fixed unless correlated to Consumer Price Index adjustments at contract renewal, and delivery requirements are tightly specified for institutional food-service operations.
