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, a Class code, covers the procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred peach products by state and local institutional food service operators—primarily corrections departments, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and county or municipal senior services. The work solicited under this code spans institutional bulk food purchasing for cafeteria, prison, state hospital, and school nutrition operations, where canned peaches appear as line items within broader food commodity RFQs, RFPs, and IFBs that include dozens of related shelf-stable proteins, fruits, vegetables, and staples. Issuing bodies include state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, California Department of State Hospitals, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county government nutrition or senior services divisions (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). These jurisdictions solicit food commodities regularly and in volume, often establishing annual or multi-year contracts with quarterly or weekly ordering windows and firm fixed pricing for the contract term.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast, Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Upper Midwest. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products including canned fruits for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million annually (due July 13, 2026), the California Department of State Hospitals–Atascadero issuing RFQ 26AG0002 for 3,472 cases of canned fruits including 448 cases of canned peaches (due May 27, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing IWQ 140229 for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins (due October 19, 2026). Oregon and Texas corrections and hospital systems are repeat buyers; canned peaches appear as sub-line items or part of broader commodity bundles rather than standalone RFPs. State and local procurement bodies frequently apply Buy American or domestic-content preferences, require USDA compliance, enforce prevailing wage and insurance minimums, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value criteria. Delivery is typically FOB destination to central distribution or warehouse hubs with firm fixed unit pricing per case.
