UNSPSC 50344949: Frozen summer blush nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as summer blush nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50344949 Frozen summer blush nectarines is a Commodity code, but state and local procurement activity under this code shows little relevant recent alignment. The opportunities posted under the code span institutional food service for state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and county senior services — covering bulk groceries, fresh produce, frozen vegetables, and prepared foods. However, the recent opportunities tag frozen vegetables, mixed frozen produce blends, apples, and generic frozen fruit products rather than the nectarine-specific commodity the code nominates. The issuing-body mix includes Texas Health and Human Services Commission (multiple state hospital and supported living center contracts), state departments of corrections and education, county boards of education, county commissioners' offices, and state agencies in New Jersey and Georgia. Activity concentrates in Texas, which issued the majority of state-level institutional food service contracts in the dataset, alongside school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

The most prominent recent opportunities reflect institutional bulk purchasing rather than nectarine-specific procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited frozen food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under HHS0017338, with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full contract period, with bids due August 18, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB for fresh produce across multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items for the 2026-27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections solicited approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples with a prior-year award to Robbins Sales, bids due August 19, 2026. The New Jersey Department of Human Services conducted a rebid procurement for frozen mixed vegetables in specific pack sizes for nutrition assistance programs, bids due June 17, 2026. Nectarines—frozen or fresh—do not appear as line items in any of the posted specifications, suggesting either minimal historical demand under this code or systematic tagging misalignment in the procurement system.
