UNSPSC 50385402: Arctic mist nectarine purees

The variety of nectarines known as arctic mist nectarines which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385402 Arctic mist nectarine purees is a Commodity code for shelf-stable and fresh fruit products that state and local government food service operations—primarily correctional facilities, school districts, senior centers, and state-supported living centers—procure for institutional meal programs and nutrition services. The recent opportunities under this code show that issuing bodies are actually buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including apples and berries, and miscellaneous food commodities rather than the nominal product name; the code appears to serve as a catch-all for fruit-based food items across multiple product forms and preservation methods. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span state correctional and human services agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county education and human services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), state veterans homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District), and municipal nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The State of Illinois has posted multiple solicitations for weekly food orders under this code, indicating repeat purchasing activity.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for canned applesauce in July 2026 (approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case) and May 2026 (1,904 cases), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with delivery to the Senior Services Center, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posting an IFB in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items, $4.5 million potential value over three years), and Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids in June 2026 for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for school year 2026–27 with a Buy American requirement. Contract awards typically go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; several jurisdictions reserve the right to split awards by line item or vendor and impose commercial liability insurance requirements, delivery within 48 to 72 hours, and USDA compliance standards.
