UNSPSC 50344912: Frozen bright pearl nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as bright pearl nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344912 Frozen bright pearl nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow food-supply line that state and local governments buy infrequently and inconsistently. Recent solicitations under this code span school districts, state health agencies, and county corrections facilities purchasing comprehensive grocery and produce assortments where frozen nectarines appear as one item among hundreds—if at all. The code's nominal scope does not align with the broad, multi-item procurement activity actually happening under the tagged opportunities; frozen nectarines are rarely called out as a line-item requirement in school nutrition, institutional food service, or state hospital purchasing. State and local buyers instead issue large consolidated bids for fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples, with individual fruit items specified generically (e.g., "frozen fruit berries," "fresh produce") rather than by specific cultivar. When frozen stone fruits do appear, they are typically bundled with other frozen produce in mixed-case purchases or as commodity items in broader food-service contracts.

The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement across the dataset are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Hancock County, Bridgeport, Decatur, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, Fulton County, Henry County, Douglas County, Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC procuring for state hospitals and supported living centers), and county-level nutrition and corrections operations (Santa Clara County Sheriff). Texas HHSC appears as a repeat buyer, issuing multiple consolidated food-service bids across state facilities. Activity is concentrated in Georgia (Hancock, Decatur, Early, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch, Fulton, Henry, Douglas counties) and Texas (HHSC statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), with secondary presence in Connecticut, New Jersey, California, Oregon, Missouri, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB for Big Spring State Hospital (posted July 13, 2026, due July 27, 2026) seeking approximately 110 grocery line items with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36, the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program (posted June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat (posted June 24, 2026, due June 24, 2026, with pre-bid April 16, 2026). None of these solicitations isolates frozen nectarines as a discrete line item or procurement focus; the code shows little relevant recent activity distinct from broader produce and grocery aggregations.
