UNSPSC 50354900: Frozen organic nectarines

A peach with a smooth-skinned fruit that is a frequent somatic mutation of the normal peach that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354900 Frozen organic nectarines is a Class code that does not match the work state and local governments are actually buying under the recent solicitations tagged with this code. The recent opportunities show that this code is being applied to broad school nutrition procurement — frozen foods, fresh produce, dairy, meats, grains, and grocery staples spanning hundreds of line items per solicitation — rather than a specific commodity like frozen organic nectarines. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code to support the National School Lunch Program and school breakfast programs. The scope reflects cafeteria operations at scale: standardized item lists covering proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains, condiments, and supplies; adherence to USDA nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements; compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products); HACCP plans and 24/7 food-recall accessibility; and delivery to central warehouses or multiple school sites Monday through Friday during morning hours.

Recent activity is concentrated in Georgia and the broader Southeast, with major recent solicitations from the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (RFP for fresh produce, sealed bids due April 23, 2026), the Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative, proposals due March 4, 2026), and Early County Board of Education (food and non-food line-by-line bids, due June 8, 2026). Additional solicitations come from Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases for the Board of Education, due June 30, 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services for over 900 grocery line items, due April 29, 2026), and Georgia state government (State of Georgia food, supplies, and kitchen products, due June 22, 2026). All contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm pricing for the full term, deliveries F.O.B. destination with no separate fuel surcharges, Net 30 to Net 45 payment terms, and the right to award to single or multiple vendors on a line-item basis. The mismatch between this code's nominal scope and the actual breadth of school nutrition procurement suggests the code may be misapplied across these opportunities.
