UNSPSC 50355300: Frozen organic peaches

A fruit tree (prunus persica) of the family rosaceae (rose family) having decorative pink blossoms and a juicy, sweet drupe fruit that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355300 Frozen organic peaches is a Class code that covers shelf-stable and frozen organic fruit products procured by state and local education and nutrition departments. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reflect the actual focus on commodity food sourcing for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food distribution rather than frozen peaches specifically. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county departments: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Department of Community Services), Bridgeport Board of Education (via the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases), Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia. These jurisdictions solicit food items through informal written quotes (IWQ), invitations for bid (IFB), and formal RFPs that bundle produce, proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and paper supplies under National School Lunch Program compliance frameworks. The scope typically includes 35 to 1,100+ line items of shelf-stable and frozen products, with vendors required to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed items), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, USDA whole-grain and enriched-tier specifications, and HACCP food-safety documentation. Delivery windows span Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with F.O.B. destination pricing and no separate fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education bid fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026), Early County Board of Education sought food and non-food items for the same period (bids due June 8, 2026), and Gwinnett County posted an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026). The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education with an electronic bid due June 30, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a statewide bid on food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Award is consistently made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder; vendors must provide three professional references, maintain commercial general liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), satisfy debarment and suspension verification when applicable, and comply with E-Verify and worker verification requirements for contracts exceeding $2,499.99.
