UNSPSC 50364903: Canned or jarred arctic snow nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as arctic snow nectarines that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364903 Canned or jarred arctic snow nectarines, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity reflected in recent opportunities. The code nominally covers a narrow specialty preserve category, yet the opportunities posted against it span broad food-service procurement for institutional settings including state corrections systems, school districts, health and human services facilities, and transit authorities. The actual buying under this code reflects general food-product supply for mass feeding operations — canned and frozen fruits, applesauce, vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared foods delivered in bulk to schools, state institutions, and correctional facilities, not the arctic snow nectarine preserves the code name suggests.

State departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District), and municipal departments (City of Bridgeport) are the primary issuing bodies. School districts and state health and human services facilities dominate the activity. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, and Fairfax County Public Schools appear multiple times in recent solicitations. Opportunities range from $1.5 million annually (Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center, September 2025–August 2026) to $9 million (Douglas County School System food supply and distribution). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Virginia, with broader activity across school districts nationwide. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases over five deliveries, due July 31, 2026); the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated $1.5 million historical value, proposals due July 13, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 direct delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (sealed bids due April 27, 2026); and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts ($4.4 million Area One, $1.1 million Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026). All recent opportunities mandate FOB Destination pricing with transportation prepaid, compliance with Buy American or USDA commodity standards, firm fixed pricing for stated contract periods, and commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million.
