UNSPSC 50564834: Non GMO mericrest nectarine purees

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO mericrest nectarines which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50564834 Non GMO Mericrest nectarine purees is a Commodity code that describes specialized fruit purees used in institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure canned and processed fruit products—including applesauce, fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed consumables—under this code's parent Family and Class levels far more frequently than the narrow nectarine-puree specification itself. Recent solicitations show state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, school districts, and municipal nutrition centers purchasing shelf-stable and frozen fruit items, packaged dried-fruit products, and fresh produce as components of broader food-service contracts. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon DOC, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia; Gwinnett County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), state-supported living centers, and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). The code shows little direct market activity for nectarine purees specifically; instead, the underlying procurement reflects institutional food sourcing for corrections facilities, schools, nursing homes, and state hospitals where price competitiveness and compliance with USDA commodity standards or Buy American provisions drive vendor selection.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with the heaviest recent activity in Texas and Georgia. Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (RFPs posted August 19, 2026, responses due August 24); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce to be delivered in five full truck loads to Salem with historical pricing at $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales (S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026); Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products to supply the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026). Most opportunities are awarded on lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder or best-value bases with firm fixed pricing and FOB destination delivery terms; Buy American and state-preference provisions appear in education and state agency solicitations.
