UNSPSC 50374948: Canned or jarred organic spring red nectarines

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

UNSPSC 50374948 Canned or jarred organic spring red nectarines (Commodity) does not reflect the actual activity in state and local procurement under this code. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, weekly food orders, fresh produce, eggs, and main-line food service distribution—none of which are canned or jarred organic nectarines. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying canned and fresh fruits across multiple categories through food service solicitations for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining operations. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, school districts ranging from small rural systems to major urban districts, and county and municipal educational authorities. The mix shows particularly active school nutrition procurement, with districts like Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County issuing overlapping or sequential bids for fruit products and produce alongside main-line food service contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois based on recent postings. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce (apples, berries, citrus, melons, specialty items) due June 26, 2026, under Buy American requirements; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million, due March 4, 2026. Evaluation is predominantly lowest responsive bid or best value; firm fixed pricing for contract terms is standard, with annual renewals common in school nutrition contracts. Code misclassification appears systematic—the commodity code name does not align with the breadth of fruit procurement activity actually tagged beneath it.
