UNSPSC 50354937: Frozen organic red jim nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50354937 Frozen organic red jim nectarines is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not reflect procurement of that specific product. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition solicitations that span comprehensive frozen and fresh grocery procurement—including meats, dairy, produce, prepared entrees, grains, and non-food supplies—rather than a discrete frozen fruit item. The recent opportunities show school districts and educational agencies across multiple states issuing RFPs and IFBs for annual food service contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with line-item bidding across hundreds of SKUs per solicitation. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, though one opportunity involves a state-level procurement (State of Georgia) and cooperative purchasing vehicles (the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Vendors must meet Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content, carry HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, maintain liability insurance typically in the $1 million per occurrence range, comply with E-Verify authorization, and meet nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements. Delivery is weekly or bi-weekly Monday through Friday to central warehouses and individual school sites, with payment terms typically Net 30 to Net 45 days and firm pricing for the contract term.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with recent opportunities from Hancock County Schools, Decatur City Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Douglas County School System (all Georgia), and the Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri). Connecticut activity is represented by Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid. Representative recent solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) with delivery to ten school sites; and the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The mismatch between the Commodity code name and the actual breadth of food service procurement means the code offers limited relevance for vendors focused exclusively on frozen organic red jim nectarines; however, vendors supplying frozen produce or specialty fruits as part of broader school nutrition distribution may find traction in this segment.
