UNSPSC 50344942: Frozen ruby diamond nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as ruby diamond nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344942 Frozen ruby diamond nectarines (Commodity) does not map to the state and local procurement activity recorded in recent opportunities. The solicitations tagged with this code are overwhelmingly for broad grocery procurement serving school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition agencies—spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, condiments, and food service supplies across hundreds of line items per contract. The code's specific focus on a single frozen fruit variety (ruby diamond nectarines) bears no relation to the actual scope of work being solicited, which encompasses comprehensive food and consumable supply contracts.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Fulton County Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Henry County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, City Schools of Decatur), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers), county corrections departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff Department of Correction), Head Start organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and regional purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts in Georgia). Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Oregon, with school nutrition procurement as the dominant use case. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, covering 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a historical baseline of $32,226.36 annually), the Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BID052266 for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program (bids due June 30, 2026, spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American requirements), Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat (estimated value $969,460.94, bids due June 24, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services serving 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of $9,000,000 (bids due February 18, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (frozen ruby diamond nectarines) and the actual procurement landscape suggests either a classification error in the source data or diminished relevance of this specific Commodity code to current state and local buying patterns.
