UNSPSC 50374938: Canned or jarred organic red roy nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50374938 Canned or jarred organic red roy nectarines is a Commodity code covering specialty preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. While the code nominally specifies organic red roy nectarines, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show a markedly different purchasing pattern: the Oregon Department of Corrections and school districts across multiple states are actually buying canned applesauce, canned fruit, fresh produce, and broader food service supplies rather than the specific organic nectarine product the code names. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments, school nutrition programs (including independent school districts, county boards of education, and cooperative buying arrangements serving multiple districts), state health and human services agencies, and municipal school systems. Purchases are driven by child nutrition program requirements and institutional food service operations serving student populations and incarcerated individuals.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County) and Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, HHSC El Paso facility) appearing most frequently in recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, and vegetables (due June 26, 2026); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually (due July 13, 2026). The code shows moderate recent activity, but the mismatch between its nominal scope and actual purchasing signals that vendors should verify category assignment in any RFP or RFQ before bidding, as many of these solicitations span broader commodity food procurement rather than the specific organic nectarine product the UNSPSC number names.
