UNSPSC 50374931: Canned or jarred organic may diamond nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50374931 Canned or jarred organic may diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, including nectarines, applesauce, and other preserved fruit items that state and local government food service operations purchase for institutional feeding. Recent solicitations show that school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers are the primary buyers under this code, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. The scope of work reflects real procurement for institutional food service: canned applesauce meeting USDA 2011 commodity specifications, canned fruit in own juice or light syrup with minimum shelf life requirements, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, and general shelf-stable fruit items. Quantities typically range from single-vehicle orders (under 2,000 cases) to multi-truck shipments (4,000–6,000+ cases), with delivery to central distribution centers, school nutrition warehouses, or facility cafeterias. Products must comply with FDA and USDA standards, arrive in undamaged condition properly labeled, and meet nutritional or grade requirements specified in the solicitation.

The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce, with the most recent solicitation (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) seeking approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, awarded previously to Robbins Sales, and offering a combined 10 percent Oregon goods and resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) solicited supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned fruits for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, bid deadline March 19, 2026, maximum contract value $4.5 million over three years). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners sought approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins under an informal written quote (IFB due October 19, 2026). The State of Illinois has posted multiple weekly food-order contracts for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with both brand-specific and brand-or-equal options. Austin Independent School District requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year including multiple apple varieties (IFB due June 26, 2026). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, statewide procurement) and Oregon (ODOC), with substantial activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, AISD) and Illinois (state veterans home), and emerging activity in Connecticut (City of Bridgeport).
