UNSPSC 50325300: Dried peaches

A fruit tree (prunus persica) of the family rosaceae (rose family) having decorative pink blossoms and a juicy, sweet drupe fruit that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325300 Dried peaches, a Class code, encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local governments for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. State and local buyers under this code source dried fruits as commodity ingredients and standalone items within broader food service contracts, where they appear alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts, city boards of education, state education departments, and state correctional agencies. School nutrition programs represent the primary buying activity, with districts and municipalities procuring dried fruits as part of annual or multi-year food service contracts that must comply with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content in processed products.

Recent activity spans multiple states and jurisdictions. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued bid IW236532 in February 2026 for whole pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count) in minimum quantities of 1,400 boxes for delivery to a Corpus Christi location, with responses due February 20, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year, with responses due June 26, 2026; while the scope was primarily fresh produce, dried fruits may be included within broader commodity categories. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids in June 2026 for 115 commodity line items to supply the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026 and coverage of fruit and vegetable products under Buy American requirements. The State of Georgia posted a general food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (due June 22, 2026) with scope details contained in an attached specification document. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with recent opportunities primarily in school nutrition and state agency food service. Response deadlines cluster in late February and June 2026.
