UNSPSC 50385400: Nectarine purees

The type of nectarine with a smooth-skinned fruit that is a frequent somatic mutation of the normal peach which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385400 Nectarine purees, a Class code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show active, substantial procurement of canned and fresh fruit products, but none involve nectarine purees specifically; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting applesauce, fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, produce mixes), dried fruit bars, and broad food service commodities for institutional meal programs. The mismatch suggests the code may be misapplied to these opportunities or that the commodity scope does not align with recent procurement reality. School districts, state departments, and institutional food service operations (prisons, hospitals, state supported living centers) are the dominant issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The work involves delivering food products to central warehouses, school nutrition centers, and multiple facility locations under firm fixed-price contracts, typically requiring Buy American compliance, USDA specifications, liability insurance, and delivery on FOB Destination terms.

The code shows significant recent volume across state and local jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with prior-period historical value of $1.5 million); the Bridgeport Board of Education's commodities bid for the Nutrition Center (BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products); and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts (PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million across two geographic areas). Pricing is uniformly firm fixed for contract periods, delivery windows are tightly specified (typically Monday–Friday during school or meal-service hours), and most opportunities require minimum three years' prior experience, commercial general liability insurance of $1 million or higher, HACCP or food safety documentation, and proof of USDA or federal compliance.
