UNSPSC 50374912: Canned or jarred organic bright pearl nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50374912, Canned or jarred organic bright pearl nectarines (Commodity), describes shelf-stable preserved stone fruit that state and local government food service operations — primarily corrections, school nutrition, senior services, and state health facilities — procure as part of broader commodity food buys. The recent solicitations show that while this specific UNSPSC code nominally targets organic bright pearl nectarines in canned or jarred form, state and local buyers are actually acquiring a much wider range of canned and shelf-stable fruit products, applesauce, and mixed commodity foods under overlapping procurement codes. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia), state health and corrections departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county social services (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport). These jurisdictions typically bundle canned fruit with dozens of other shelf-stable and refrigerated food products in single RFP, IFB, or ITB notices.

Recent activity shows procurement across the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut among the most active in the recent-opportunities block. Representative solicitations include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote request (IWQ 140229) for 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 (due July 31, 2026, with historical award to Robbins Sales at $21.84 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers, encompassing 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years (due March 19, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five TDCJ warehouse locations (extended to May 4, 2026). Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products are common in school district and nutrition-facility procurements, and awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with Oregon Department of Corrections offers 5 percent preferences for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors. Canned fruit is rarely procured in isolation; vendors entering this market generally need broad commodity-food capabilities and multi-location distribution logistics.
