UNSPSC 50385420: Fire sweet nectarine purees

The variety of nectarines known as fire sweet nectarines which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385420 Fire sweet nectarine purees (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually buying under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity show procurement of canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, general food and consumable products for institutional food service, and bulk grocery items for school nutrition programs. The code's nominal scope—fire-sweetened nectarine purées—does not match the categories, product types, or vendors appearing in recent solicitations. State and local procurement offices are using this Commodity code to tag food service supply contracts that span apples, produce, dairy, proteins, and shelf-stable pantry items across school districts, corrections facilities, health and human services institutions, and municipal food operations. The issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Schools), state health and corrections agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). Award sizes and contract structures vary widely—from small single-item procurements (Oregon DOC applesauce, approximately $41,530 historical value) to large annual food service agreements (Texas HHSC supplemental food with a $4.5 million potential contract value over three years; Douglas County School System food supply at approximately $9 million annually).

Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with the densest recent activity in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD) and Georgia (multiple school districts via the GEC cooperative). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (estimated $1.5 million historical value, due July 13, 2026), the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts (approximately $5.5 million combined spending, due March 4, 2026). All recent opportunities emphasize firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, USDA commodity specifications where applicable, delivery to multiple school or facility sites, and multi-year contract terms with renewal options. The mismatch between the Commodity code name and the actual procurement mix signals either systematic misclassification of food service opportunities at this code level or a code-naming artifact that no longer reflects current state and local commodity classification practice.
