UNSPSC 50344938: Frozen red roy nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50344938 Frozen red roy nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy frozen nectarines—and frozen fruit more broadly—primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service contracts. Recent solicitations show this code sits within a much larger produce and grocery procurement ecosystem: school districts bid frozen fruit and vegetables alongside fresh produce, dried fruits, and comprehensive grocery lines; state health and human services agencies procure frozen foods as part of broad meal service contracts for state hospitals and supported living centers; and county correctional facilities source frozen fruit for inmate nutrition. The work being solicited ranges from single-category frozen-fruit-only bids to line-item slots within 200+ line-item grocery procurements. Issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school levels), state health agencies, county correctional departments, and state-supported living centers.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia, Texas, and California, with secondary activity across Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, and other jurisdictions. Representative recent procurements include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide supplemental food and consumables bid (HHS0016792, IFB, historical value $4.5 million over three years, questions due March 5, 2026); the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement for the Sheriff's Department correctional facility (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, five-year contract, questions due February 3, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for school year 2027 (IFB SN002-2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026); and Fulton County Schools' ice cream and frozen novelties procurement (IFB 190-26, digital submissions due March 10, 2026). Frozen fruit appears as a line item within larger grocery bids rather than as a standalone commodity in most recent activity, reflecting school districts' preference to consolidate food sourcing across a single or small number of vendors. No incumbent vendors are named in the solicitation block, and recent activity does not surface set-asides or preferences specific to this commodity within the broader category.
