UNSPSC 50354909: Frozen organic august red nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50354909 Frozen organic august red nectarines, Commodity tier, does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally specifies a single frozen fruit product, but the recent opportunities posted under this code and related food-procurement categories encompass broad-spectrum food purchasing for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state food supply contracts — including fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, melons), shelf-stable proteins and grains, dairy, bread, and condiments, plus associated paper products and kitchen supplies. State and local governments soliciting under this code tier are actually buying institutional food service for K–12 schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, senior services departments, and state agency food supply operations. The issuing bodies are school boards (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county commissions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), and state departments (State of Georgia). None of the recent solicitations specifically name frozen nectarines or organic produce as line items; the freeze dates and specifications reflect generic commodity tagging rather than targeted procurement of this product.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut across the sample. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (June 26, 2026 due date), and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid for approximately 300+ food items plus non-food supplies (June 8, 2026 due date). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (October 19, 2026 due date) for the Department of Community Services, and the City of Bridgeport requested electronic bids for over 1,100 line items of grocery items under Buy American provisions (June 30, 2026 due date). The State of Georgia posted a separate solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (June 22, 2026 due date). Bid response windows are compressed — typically two to four weeks from posting — and contracts run July through June fiscal cycles with firm fixed pricing and no separate fuel surcharges. The code shows recent activity but does not isolate frozen organic nectarines as a distinct procurement line; vendors pursuing this code should expect broad food-service RFPs and IFBs with multi-line item scopes rather than single-product opportunities.
