UNSPSC 50385453: Summer grand nectarine purees

The variety of nectarines known as summer grand nectarines which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385453 Summer grand nectarine purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of preserved and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows little relevance to nectarine purees specifically. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, general food supplies, and breakfast and lunch items for school nutrition programs, state corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, county school boards, boards of education, and special-purpose purchasing cooperatives serving multiple districts. State purchasing offices and regional food service distributors regularly solicit under broader commodity food classifications that encompass this code's nominal category.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent solicitations from Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, response due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including NIGP commodity classes 385 and 390 (historical value $1.5 million annually, proposals due July 13, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 elementary and middle schools plus distribution kitchens (response due April 27, 2026). Most school nutrition solicitations follow annual or multi-year cycles with fixed or CPI-adjusted pricing, Buy American provisions, firm delivery commitments, and awards to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value vendors. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being bought across these opportunities suggests the code is used loosely for institutional food service procurement broadly rather than nectarine purees in particular.
