UNSPSC 50344936: Frozen red gold nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50344936 Frozen red gold nectarines, a Commodity code, sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity under its literal product specification. The recent opportunities in the block show no direct solicitations for frozen red gold nectarines specifically; instead, state and local issuing bodies are buying comprehensive frozen fruit, fresh produce, and grocery bundles where nectarines—frozen or fresh—would be line items within larger foodservice contracts, not standalone procurements. The actual buying under codes in this family spans institutional foodservice (state hospitals, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers), school nutrition programs (National School Lunch Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program), and specialized federal nutrition initiatives (USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program). Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC), state departments of corrections (Oregon DOC), county school boards (Georgia, Missouri, and Florida districts), municipal school systems (Hillsborough County, Savannah-Chatham, Decatur), county corrections facilities (Santa Clara County Sheriff), and federal Head Start contractors. The mix tilts heavily toward school districts and state institutional operators, with secondary activity from local corrections and Head Start child nutrition services.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in Texas (multiple HHSC solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers), Georgia (numerous school districts including Hancock, Early, Bulloch, Henry, Savannah-Chatham, Fulton, and Douglas counties), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), with secondary activity in Missouri, California, Oregon, Connecticut, Mississippi, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, covering approximately 110 line items with prior-year spend of $32,226.36), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (sealed bids due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce across three school delivery sites), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for grocery products (approximately 32,409 cases estimated at $969,460.94 total procurement value, bids due June 24, 2026), and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitation for over 900 grocery line items serving 19,000 students (electronic bids due April 29, 2026). These contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually for school districts and September 1 through August 31 for state institutions, with renewal options spanning two to four additional one-year terms. Pricing is universally firm and fixed for the initial contract period, with adjustments permitted only at renewal or based on indexed market data (USDA reports, CPI). Vendors face standard school and institutional compliance including Buy American provisions (51% domestic content for processed items), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), E-Verify authorization, and debarment verification.
