UNSPSC 50345310: Frozen country sweet peaches

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

UNSPSC 50345310 Frozen country sweet peaches, a Commodity code, describes frozen sliced or diced peach products that state and local governments procure primarily to support institutional food service operations at state hospitals, state supported living centers, school districts, and county agencies. Recent solicitations under this code reflect demand for bulk frozen fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, with quantities ranging from 40,000 pounds to multi-case buys for annual institutional feeding contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, state departments of education and corrections, Georgia and Oregon state agencies, county boards of education, and county human services departments. School districts and institutional food service programs account for the largest share of recent activity, followed by state-operated residential and hospital facilities. Vendors supplying this code must meet strict product specifications, including USDA grading compliance where applicable, temperature maintenance at delivery, minimum shelf-life guarantees (typically 90 days to one year), proper labeling, and timely response to complaint resolution and product recall procedures.

Recent geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, and New Jersey. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission alone posted seven separate frozen-food or produce solicitations between May and August 2026, indicating sustained institutional demand. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 IFB for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (bid due August 19, 2026), delivery to ODOC Central Distribution Center in Salem with historical pricing at $0.797 per pound and a 10% Oregon goods and resident-business preference; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 informal written quote for food items including frozen products, approximately 1,062 cases, due October 19, 2026; and Texas HHS Commission's July 2026 IFB for frozen food products across 106 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million. Award criteria across these opportunities emphasize specification compliance, delivery reliability, and price competitiveness evaluated on a best-value basis rather than lowest-bid. Most solicitations require vendors to supply 90 percent or more of specified line items, maintain firm fixed pricing, and deliver within 45 to 72 hours of order receipt during specified time windows.
