UNSPSC 50354916: Frozen organic early diamond nectarines

The variety of organic nectarines known as organic early diamond nectarines that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50354916 Frozen organic early diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products supplied to school food service operations under child nutrition program contracts. State and local governments procure frozen nectarines and related frozen fruit items primarily through school district nutrition services departments as components of larger grocery and produce bids designed to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. The work involves sourcing USDA-compliant domestic agricultural products that meet nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, whole-grain requirements, allergen restrictions (no nuts or nut oils), and stringent food safety protocols including HACCP compliance, product testing, recall accessibility, and documentation of state health inspections and formulation statements. School districts across the country solicit frozen fruit items alongside broader frozen food and grocery categories as part of annual nutrition services contracting cycles, typically requiring firm pricing for 12-month contract periods, prepaid freight delivery to central warehouses and individual school sites on standard pallets with backup emergency stock capability, acceptance through electronic ordering systems such as LINQ or NUTRIKIDS, and compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products.

Recent activity shows school districts and school systems in Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri issuing multiple IFBs and RFPs for frozen foods, fresh produce, and grocery items under annual child nutrition contracts running July 2026 through June 2027. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 IFB (BNB052266) for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services with responses due June 30, 2026; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri's April 2026 IFB (CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS20262027) for over 900 grocery items with bids due April 29, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP (PE64810NONST2026000000046) for main-line food supply and distribution services with $9 million estimated annual expenditure and responses due February 18, 2026. The code shows limited direct activity as a standalone line item; frozen organic nectarines appear primarily as individual line items within larger consolidated grocery and frozen-food bids rather than as standalone procurements, reflecting the commodity's integration into standardized school nutrition supply chains.
