UNSPSC 50364901: Canned or jarred april glo nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as april glo nectarines that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364901 Canned or jarred April Glo nectarines is a Commodity code that covers preserved stone fruits actually being purchased by state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services facilities for inmate and resident meals. Recent solicitations show demand for canned nectarines alongside broader preserved fruit procurement—though no recent opportunity explicitly names nectarines by variety, the code sits within institutional food service purchasing for canned and jarred fruits used in cafeteria operations across correctional and state-supported residential facilities. School districts, county boards of education, and state health and human services commissions are the primary issuing bodies, procuring preserved fruits as components of larger food service contracts. The work typically involves delivery of case quantities to central warehouses or individual institutional facilities, with pricing quoted per case on a firm fixed basis, FOB destination with freight prepaid, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards. Shelf life requirements commonly run one year minimum, with products packed in juice, water, or light syrup and meeting specified grades for sweetness and texture (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky).

Activity concentrates in the South and West, particularly Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce and pears within the same commodity family (February through July 2026), indicating repeat procurement rhythm tied to facility supply cycles. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and local school districts across Georgia and Texas solicit food products through IFBs and RFPs spanning July through April, with response windows typically 30 to 45 days. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with bids due July 31, 2026, offering 10 percent combined local preference (5 percent for Oregon-processed goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering an estimated $1.5 million prior-period value. Institutional food service procurement emphasizes volume purchasing, firm pricing discipline, and strict compliance with federal commodity standards, with awards commonly made to single or multiple vendors per line item based on lowest responsive bid meeting specifications.
