UNSPSC 50345306: Frozen babcock peaches

The variety of peaches known as babcock peaches that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345306 Frozen babcock peaches is a Commodity code that state and local governments purchase primarily as a component of larger institutional food service procurement — specifically for school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, child care centers, and correctional institutions. Recent solicitations show frozen peaches are rarely bid in isolation; instead, they appear as individual line items within comprehensive grocery or frozen-food contracts spanning hundreds of products. The code sees limited standalone activity, with most frozen-fruit procurement bundled into broader food-service RFPs and IFBs that list frozen peaches alongside berries, other frozen produce, and mixed frozen-vegetable cases.

Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state agencies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) is a repeat buyer, having posted multiple statewide food and consumable solicitations (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792) covering state hospitals and state-supported living centers. School districts dominate the activity: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Henry County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fulton County Schools (Georgia), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) have all posted recent nutrition solicitations including frozen produce. Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. and the County of Santa Clara (California) represent non-school institutional buyers. Geographic activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Texas, with additional solicitations from Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, New Jersey, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 (FY27 Groceries for Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026) spanning 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport IFB BNB052266 (Grocery Items for the Board of Education, due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items across breakfast, frozen products, fruits, and vegetables with Buy American domestic-ingredient requirements; and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (Grocery Products, due June 24, 2026) seeking primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce with a total estimated value of $969,460.94. The Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 (Fresh Produce and Eggs, due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative served 30 school districts with an estimated annual spend of approximately $4.4 million for Area One alone, indicating the scale of multi-district purchasing vehicles. Frozen peaches typically compete on price within these broader food-service contracts, with awards often made on a line-item basis to multiple vendors and pricing subject to firm-fixed requirements or market-adjustment formulas tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data.
