UNSPSC 50354907: Frozen organic august fire nectarines

The variety of organic nectarines known as organic august fire nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354907 Frozen organic august fire nectarines is a Commodity code that state and local school districts use to procure frozen and fresh produce for child nutrition programs, though recent opportunities show the code sees limited direct application — most school nutrition solicitations span far broader grocery and produce categories that encompass frozen nectarines as one item among hundreds rather than as a standalone procurement focus. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and their child nutrition services departments, supported by state-level cooperative purchasing vehicles. School districts in Georgia (Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education) and other states (Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, City of Bridgeport in Connecticut) have posted multiple food and produce solicitations in recent months, often using cooperative buying groups such as the GEC Buying Cooperative to aggregate demand across dozens of districts and reduce per-unit costs. The work being solicited includes fresh-produce line items (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) and frozen items delivered to central warehouses and individual school sites, meeting USDA Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP food safety standards, and nutrition standards under the National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia and scattered activity in Connecticut and Missouri. Representative solicitations include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts via the GEC Buying Cooperative (proposals due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $5.5 million annually), the City of Bridgeport's IFB for grocery items spanning 1,100 line items including frozen products (bids due June 30, 2026, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services), the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ items (bids due June 26, 2026, delivery to three school locations), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for fresh produce across 72 items (bids due April 23, 2026, delivery to 60 school sites). Pricing is firm for contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30, with delivery Monday through Friday to central warehouses or individual schools, transportation included in vendor pricing, and payment Net 30 to Net 45 days from delivery. All vendors must carry $1 million general liability insurance, comply with E-Verify and debarment verification, submit HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and provide food safety documentation.
