UNSPSC 50364948: Canned or jarred spring red nectarines

UNSPSC 50364948 Canned or jarred spring red nectarines is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure canned fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show little activity explicitly matching nectarines specifically.

Work is being solicited across corrections facilities, public schools, state hospitals, and state-supported living centers with firm-fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA food safety standards standard across all jurisdictions.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related fruit procurement codes span Oregon Department of Corrections, multiple Texas school districts and health agencies, Georgia school systems, Connecticut municipalities, Illinois state procurement, Missouri school districts, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, awarded historically to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide including 210 line items of canned goods ($4.5 million potential value over three years), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools serving 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9 million. Geographic activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon) with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Northeast (Connecticut). Procurement is ongoing and active, with most school nutrition contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and state institutional food service awards typically spanning one to three years with renewal options.
