UNSPSC 50374905: Canned or jarred organic arctic sweet nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50374905 Canned or jarred organic arctic sweet nectarines (Commodity) represents a narrow product category that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader food-service supply contracts rather than as standalone line items. Recent solicitation activity shows this code embedded in large institutional food purchasing programs serving schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and county nutrition programs. The work solicited includes shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products meeting USDA commodity or food-safety standards, often with "brand or equal" flexibility to permit equivalent substitutes when named brands are unavailable. Issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County, Gwinnett County), independent school districts (Austin ISD), municipal agencies (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and state-supported facilities. No single buyer dominates—Illinois and Texas each appear multiple times across different institutions—and the code sees activity from jurisdictions across the Southeast, Upper Midwest, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest.

Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned proteins and vegetables) due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem in five truck loads, with bids due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide to state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and a bid deadline of March 19, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education is procuring fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-order solicitations (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, with response dates in August and June 2026. Geographic activity is heaviest in Georgia (Gwinnett, Hancock), Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with Buy American provisions and domestic-content requirements common across school-based and state-agency procurements.
