UNSPSC 50325353: Dried sierra gem peaches

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

UNSPSC 50325353 Dried sierra gem peaches is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of dried fruit products for food service operations, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. The recent solicitations under this code show school districts and criminal justice agencies buying dried fruits as components of broader grocery or specialty food contracts rather than as standalone line items. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce that does not explicitly name dried peaches but spans 200+ produce items; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut solicited commodities for school nutrition in June 2026 covering eggs, poultry, and produce categories; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a dedicated IFB for whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026, specifying U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size, sealed in 25-pound boxes, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for one delivery location; and Santa Clara County, California solicited dried fruits and nuts in January 2026 for correctional facility food services, listing dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none five-line-item basis. Issuing bodies include large school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County and Savannah-Chatham in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), county and municipal purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut and Santa Clara County), and state criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition programs dominate the recent activity, with correctional food service representing a secondary but consistent buyer segment.

Activity clusters most heavily in Georgia, California, and Texas, with secondary representation from Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. Georgia school districts appear in multiple recent solicitations spanning fresh produce, dried fruits, and full-line grocery supply between February and April 2026. Texas criminal justice procurement has solicited dried prunes and broader cafeteria food products with response deadlines in May and February 2026. Santa Clara County's dried-fruits-and-nuts ITB closed in early February 2026 and included a five-percent local business preference. The Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs issued through the GEC Buying Cooperative (a multi-district vehicle) served 30 school districts across two Georgia areas and estimated approximately $5.5 million in annual spending. Most school solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products and firm fixed pricing for the contract year. Correctional facility procurement (Texas TDCJ and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department) tends to emphasize USDA grade certification, specific case counts and packaging, and multi-year term structures with optional annual price adjustments capped at a stated maximum percentage.
