UNSPSC 50385404: Arctic star nectarine purees

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

UNSPSC 50385404 Arctic star nectarine purees is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it focus on shelf-stable and fresh fruit products for institutional food service — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities for schools, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and social services. No recent opportunities specifically solicit arctic star nectarine purees; the code appears to be used as a catch-all or misapplied tag for broader produce and processed-fruit procurement. Issuing bodies span state corrections and human services departments, county boards of education and county social services, city nutrition centers, independent school districts, and state veterans homes across multiple states. The work being bought reflects volume food-service sourcing — typically 500 to 5,000+ cases per order, with firm pricing per unit, FOB destination delivery to central warehouses or distribution centers, compliance with USDA grades and FDA standards, and contract terms running one to three years with optional renewals.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB in July 2026 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales and delivery to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing an IFB in June 2026 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and a contract term through August 31, 2027; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy across multiple quarters in August and June 2026; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables for the Department of Community Services; and Austin Independent School District issuing an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service. The code shows steady institutional food-service sourcing activity but minimal specific procurement of arctic star nectarines or nectarine purees in the recent opportunity set.
