UNSPSC 50364916: Canned or jarred early diamond nectarines

The variety of nectarines known as early diamond nectarines that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50364916 Canned or jarred early diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that in practice captures broader canned and jarred fruit procurements by state and local governments, including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental fruit products for institutional food service. State and local buying under this code is heavily concentrated in school districts and correctional or health and human services facilities. School districts procure fruit products as components of larger grocery or food service contracts serving breakfast and lunch programs; corrections and HHSC entities bid fruit products separately as standalone line items or as part of broader food supply solicitations. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts appear repeatedly across recent opportunities. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services), county and independent school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative. The code's nominal specificity to early diamond nectarines is misleading—actual recent procurements solicited canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental canned fruits with USDA commodity specifications, packed in juice, water, or light syrup, with firm shelf-life requirements and Buy American compliance where applicable under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast (Georgia school districts, including Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Hancock County, and Liberty County), the Southwest (Texas HHSC and TDCJ), the upper Midwest (Missouri school districts including Rockwood), and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections). Recent representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case and 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered preferences; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million for the prior year and automatic renewal through 2028; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including apples and berries with a due date of June 26, 2026, serving three delivery locations under Buy American provisions. School nutrition procurements typically emphasize firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, Buy American compliance with 51 percent domestic content for processed items, and contract periods running July through June aligned with school fiscal years, with renewal options extending two to four years.
