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, Commodity, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity—the code appears in the dataset but recent opportunities soliciting under this code do not reflect frozen nectarines specifically. State and local governments sourcing under adjacent frozen-fruit UNSPSC categories are procuring broad categories of frozen produce including mixed vegetables, frozen apples, and frozen specialty food products for institutional food service, primarily through school districts, state health and human services departments, county boards of education, and child care agencies. The work is demand-driven by National School Lunch Program compliance, state hospital and supported living center meal service requirements, and child care nutrition mandates such as CACFP and Head Start. Solicitations reflect firm fixed pricing, domestic content preferences (including Buy American provisions in school districts), weekly or monthly delivery schedules to central warehouses and satellite sites, HACCP certification, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA food safety standards. Product quality is evaluated on specification adherence, delivery timeliness, temperature maintenance, shelf life, and past vendor performance rather than price alone.

Activity is concentrated in Texas—where the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services issued multiple IFBs in recent months for frozen and supplemental food products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—and in school districts across Georgia, Florida, Oregon, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017338V1 (July 2026, bids due August 18, 2026) for 106 line items of frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with an estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties (June 2026, bids due June 26, 2026) covering the 2026-27 school year with delivery to three school sites; the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (June 2026, bids due June 24, 2026) for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce meeting CACFP requirements for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years, with a total estimated procurement value of $969,460.94; and the Oregon Department of Corrections bid S2910000017684 (August 2026, bids due August 19, 2026) for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples with a 5% Oregon-goods and 5% resident-bidder preference available.
