UNSPSC 50354945: Frozen organic september red nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50354945 Frozen organic september red nectarines is a Commodity code that describes specialty frozen fruit products. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code, however, show little alignment with the narrow scope of frozen organic red nectarines specifically. Instead, the opportunities reveal that schools and school districts are procuring broad grocery and food service categories—fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared items—through consolidated line-item bids that span hundreds of products at once. The issuing bodies are school districts and boards of education, supported by cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. School nutrition programs are the primary customer, operating under National School Lunch Program requirements and USDA compliance mandates including Buy American provisions, HACCP food safety standards, and whole-grain and low-sodium nutritional specifications. Vendors must deliver to multiple school sites on set schedules, carry liability insurance, and maintain firm pricing for contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30. The code shows a fundamental mismatch between its specific commodity designation and the actual procurement activity: state and local nutrition programs do not bid for frozen organic september red nectarines as a standalone line item.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and surrounding states. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two major RFPs in early 2026—one for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with an estimated spend of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area, and another for main-line food supply and distribution services with annual expenditure near $9 million. The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) solicited fresh produce in March 2026 with 72 line items and quantities reaching 21,125 cases annually for individual produce items. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB in April 2026 for frozen foods and grocery items; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items; and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) solicited grocery items in June 2026 spanning over 1,100 line items. Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District posted a grocery items bid in March 2026 covering over 900 line items for a student population of nearly 19,000. The code exhibits no direct procurement activity for frozen organic september red nectarines and appears to be a categorization error or legacy taxonomy assignment.
