UNSPSC 50364906: Canned or jarred arctic glo nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50364906 Canned or jarred arctic glo nectarines, a Commodity code, spans products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily canned and jarred fruits meeting USDA commodity specifications for correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school districts. Recent solicitations show procurement offices buying canned applesauce, canned pears, and dried fruit products under this code tier, though the recent opportunities block includes substantial activity for broader food service categories (fresh produce, proteins, grains, consumables) that fall outside the nominal nectarine scope. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipal education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education, Dallas Independent School District). State correctional and institutional facilities represent the most concentrated buyer segment under codes near this commodity classification, with Oregon Department of Corrections issuing multiple ITBs for canned applesauce in the 2026 window and Texas HHSC procuring supplemental food items statewide for multiple facilities.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary presence in Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, sealed bids due July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST, historical award $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales, with 5% Oregon processing and 5% Oregon vendor preferences totaling 10%), and Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumable products statewide (210 line items, firm fixed pricing required on minimum 95% of items, anticipated contract value up to $4.5 million over three years through August 31, 2028, with prior addendum extending bid deadline to February 23, 2026). School district grocery and produce contracts show less direct relevance to canned nectarines specifically, clustering instead around fresh produce, proteins, and prepared foods on annual cycles (typically July 1 through June 30 contract periods with firm fixed pricing). Institutional and correctional procurement remains the primary market for shelf-stable canned fruit products under this code; school nutrition directors generally source canned and processed fruits through broader commodity or commercial grocery line-item bids rather than single-product nectarine solicitations.
