UNSPSC 50354911: Frozen organic big john nectarines

The variety of organic nectarines known as organic big john nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354911 Frozen organic big john nectarines is a Commodity code representing specialty frozen fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and county social services operations. Recent solicitations show that this code captures frozen fruit items purchased as part of broader food-supply contracts for school breakfast and lunch programs, senior services, and institutional food operations. The work involves supplying case-lot frozen produce meeting nutrition standards, USDA Buy American requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), and food safety compliance including HACCP protocols and product traceability. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts dominate the recent activity, typically bundling frozen items with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and dry goods in annual nutrition contracts.

Geographic concentration is heavy in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Connecticut. Recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce bid (Sparta, Georgia; bids due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education's food bid for three schools (bids due June 8, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items bid covering over 1,100 line items with electronic submission through OpenGov and a due date of June 30, 2026, and Gwinnett County's informal food purchase request (Lawrenceville, Georgia; quotes due October 19, 2026). The State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) signals statewide procurement activity. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, require firm fixed pricing with no separate fuel surcharges, mandate delivery Monday through Friday during school hours, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Vendors must provide three professional references, maintain appropriate insurance, comply with Buy American and worker verification requirements, and accept orders through school ordering systems such as LINQ School Solutions.
