UNSPSC 50365300: Canned or jarred 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 canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365300 Canned or jarred peaches (Class) represents canned fruit procurement by state agencies, county health and human services departments, state-supported living centers, and school districts serving institutional populations. State and local governments buy canned stone fruits—primarily peaches, but also applesauce, pears, and mixed fruit cocktails—in bulk cases for correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and residential care centers. Products must meet USDA commodity specifications, comply with FDA/USDA food safety standards, arrive packed in juice or light syrup with shelf life guarantees of one to three years, and deliver on FOB destination terms with all transportation prepaid. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, California Department of State Hospitals, and multiple school districts (Hancock County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) are active repeat buyers; several school nutrition programs also procure dried fruit products and fresh produce alongside canned goods, indicating broader fruit category purchasing within nutrition services budgets.

The code shows concentrated activity across school districts in the Southeast and Midwest, with standout state-level demand from Oregon Department of Corrections (two separate applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food procurements serving statewide hospital and living-center networks), and California Department of State Hospitals (canned fruit RFQ for Atascadero facility). Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-business preference; California Department of State Hospitals RFQ 26AG0002 requesting 3,472 cases of mixed canned fruits (applesauce, peaches, pears, pineapple, fruit cocktail) in 6/#10 cans due May 27, 2026, with DVBE and Small Business set-aside incentives; and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026, covering multiple NIGP classes including canned goods and anticipated contract value of $1.5 million annually. Pricing is typically quoted per-case basis with firm fixed rates for the contract term, historical reference prices range from $21.83 to $21.84 per case for applesauce, and Buy American Act compliance is standard across school district procurements.
