UNSPSC 50385409: August red nectarine purees

The variety of nectarines known as august red nectarines which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385409 August red nectarine purees is a Commodity code encompassing processed fruit purees and similar shelf-stable fruit products procured by state and local food service operations—school districts, corrections facilities, state hospitals, senior services centers, and institutional nutrition programs. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reveal that jurisdictions are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and multi-item food commodity packages rather than the nectarine-specific product the code nominates. The actual procurement activity shows a broader pattern of institutional bulk food sourcing across USDA-compliant shelf-stable and refrigerated items, with vendors expected to meet federal food safety standards, deliver on FOB Destination terms, maintain liability insurance, and comply with Buy American provisions where applicable in school meal contexts.

Recent solicitations span multiple states and issuing bodies. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026, 4,760 cases in July 2026) with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a five percent Oregon-resident preference applied; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited 382-line-item cafeteria food products via IFB through the Texas Comptroller in May 2026 with extended deadlines; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years) with response deadline March 19, 2026; Austin Independent School District requested dried fruit bars and apple crisps via RFP in July 2026; Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce (200+ line items, July 2026 IFB); the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a 115-line-item commodity bid for school nutrition in June 2026 under Buy American and MBE/CBE provisions; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal quote for shelf-stable food items (35 line items, October 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy.
