UNSPSC 50325313: Dried crown princess peaches

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

UNSPSC 50325313 Dried crown princess peaches, a Commodity code, encompasses specialty dried fruit products sourced for institutional food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct demand for this specific dried peach variety; instead, procurement offices classify broader dried fruit purchases under this code while actually seeking mixed dried fruit assortments, raisins, cranberries, and nuts. School districts and county food service operations represent the primary issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia and California. The County of Santa Clara, California, posted an invitation to bid (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) on January 28, 2026, for dried fruits and nuts serving the Sheriff's Department correctional facility, requesting dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis with bid submissions due February 5, 2026. Douglas County School System in Georgia and numerous other Georgia school districts (Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, and others) have issued food supply contracts covering fresh and processed produce, with some incorporating dried fruit components as line items within broader grocery or food-supply solicitations.

Recent activity under this code shows limited concentration and inconsistent geographic spread, with school nutrition procurement dominating. The Douglas County School System in Georgia issued RFP 26-003 for comprehensive food supply and distribution services for approximately 25,500 students with a due date of February 18, 2026, and anticipated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000, though dried peaches appear as a minor item within larger food-supply buys rather than a standalone procurement driver. Most solicitations requiring dried fruit products frame them as supplemental items within master grocery or fresh-produce contracts rather than discrete commodity purchases, suggesting this code captures incidental demand rather than strategic procurement focus. Vendor qualification typically requires three to five years of food service industry experience, commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 or greater, and compliance with Buy American and USDA nutritional standards. Payment terms across school districts range from Net 30 to Net 45 days from invoice and receipt, with contract periods running July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, and renewable at district discretion for additional one-year terms.
