UNSPSC 50385422: Flat type nectarine purees

The variety of nectarines known as flat type nectarines which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385422 Flat type nectarine purees (Commodity) is narrowly defined but sits within a broader market of shelf-stable and fresh fruit products that state and local governments purchase for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show that state and local agencies tag food procurement under this code inconsistently; while the code name specifies nectarine purees, the recent solicitations captured under it span canned applesauce, fresh produce, dried fruit bars, eggs, proteins, dairy, and miscellaneous cafeteria staples. The issuing bodies are mixed and include state health and human services departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC), state education agencies (Illinois Veterans Home), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Schools, Austin ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), county government procurement offices (Gwinnett County), and municipal food service departments (City of Bridgeport). The code appears to function as a catch-all for institutional food procurement rather than a precision classification for nectarine purees specifically.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with Georgia (Gwinnett County, state procurement), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (DOC), and Connecticut (Bridgeport) showing the most visible solicitation volume. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an IFQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, the Texas HHSC issuing an IFB in June 2026 for food and consumables to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million (September 2025–August 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB in May 2026 for 1,904 cases of canned applesauce with a five percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident-bidder preference. None of the recent opportunities specifically solicit nectarine purees; the code's taxonomy placement appears misaligned with current institutional food procurement activity.
