UNSPSC 50355368: Frozen organic sweet september peaches

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

UNSPSC 50355368 Frozen organic sweet september peaches (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and frozen food products purchased by state and local education and social-services agencies, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied to broader procurement categories that do not specifically include frozen peaches. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and county/municipal food service departments sourcing inventory for the National School Lunch Program, school breakfast operations, senior services, and community nutrition programs. The actual scope of work encompasses general grocery procurement—shelf-stable canned goods, dried proteins, grains, produce, dairy, meat, and frozen items—rather than the frozen-peach specialty item the code nominally describes. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Early County), school district food and nutrition departments (Bridgeport Board of Education), county social-services departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state purchasing offices. Procurement is conducted via informal written quotes (IWQ), sealed bids (IFB), and electronic bids through portals such as OpenGov. Vendors are required to meet Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP food-safety plans, general liability insurance (typically $500,000 to $1,000,000 per occurrence), E-Verify compliance, and anti-collusion certifications. Delivery is typically required Monday through Friday during morning and early-afternoon hours to central warehouses and designated school sites within 72 hours of order receipt or per standing delivery schedules.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce across 200+ line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, specialty fruits) with sealed bids due June 26, 2026 for the 2026-27 school year. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) posted an informal written quote on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) with quotes due October 19, 2026 for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted bids on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting school meal programs with bids due June 8, 2026 and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) posted bids on June 30, 2026 for over 1,100 grocery line items (breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, meats) for the Bridgeport Board of Education with contract term July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027, requiring sample submission, blind testing, and $1,000,000 per-occurrence liability insurance.
