UNSPSC 50325309: Dried classic peaches

The variety of peaches known as classic peaches that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325309 Dried classic peaches, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and institutional cafeterias. Recent solicitations show school districts and state corrections agencies buying dried and processed fruits as components of larger food-service contracts or as standalone commodity line items; the work involves specification-driven procurement of USDA-graded products meeting nutritional standards, Buy American domestic-content thresholds (typically 51 percent for processed items), and food-safety compliance including HACCP plans and recall protocols. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), state procurement offices acting for state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, State of Georgia), and municipal nutrition departments. School districts dominate the recent posting volume, driven by USDA National School Lunch Act compliance and seasonal contract renewals tied to school-year calendars.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South: Hancock County, Georgia (Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce contract, IFB, due June 26, 2026); Bridgeport, Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center commodities IFB, due June 26, 2026); Georgia statewide (State of Georgia food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation, due June 22, 2026); and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB, due May 4, 2026, and prunes procurement IFB, due February 20, 2026). The Hancock County and Bridgeport solicitations show dried fruit as one item among 200+ produce line items in school nutrition cycles, while the Texas TDCJ dried prunes procurement (Bid No. IW236532) represents a single-commodity, 1,400-box minimum order for Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count sizing with USDA certification. Vendor requirements across all opportunities include proof of food safety compliance, debarment verification, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $1 million depending on buyer), and electronic bid submission through municipal portals or state procurement systems.
