UNSPSC 50395045: Organic september red nectarine purees

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

UNSPSC 50395045 Organic september red nectarine purees is a Commodity code that covers the procurement of processed fruit products—chiefly applesauce, dried fruit bars, and other shelf-stable or processed fruit items—by state and local government food-service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as a catch-all for prepared fruit commodities used in institutional dining, school nutrition programs, and state facility food service rather than as a literal specification for nectarine purees alone. The code attracts bids from state departments (particularly corrections and health-and-human-services agencies), county school districts, municipal school systems, county boards of education, and regional institutional food-service programs. Issuing bodies include the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and the State of Illinois. These jurisdictions use the code to group multiple fruit and vegetable commodity items, often mixing applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce in the same solicitation or treating fruit products as line items within broader food-service contracts.

The code sees activity across multiple states, with recent opportunities concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Connecticut) and West (Oregon), alongside active procurement from Texas, Illinois, and school districts nationwide. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported-living centers statewide (210 line items including fruit products, IFB HHS0016792v2, due March 19, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, and specialty fruits (SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). Buy American and domestic-content preferences appear in multiple solicitations. Oregon applies a combined 10% preference for in-state fabrication and Oregon-based bidders; Connecticut and Georgia school districts apply the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act domestic-content requirements (minimum 51% for processed products). Most issuers award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value provider and reserve the right to make single or multiple awards by line item. Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewals. Historical pricing referenced in recent awards includes $21.84 per case for applesauce (Oregon ODOC, June 2026) and $1.5 million for annual food-and-consumable supply to a single Texas state facility.
