UNSPSC 50365306: Canned or jarred babcock peaches

The variety of peaches known as babcock peaches that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365306 Canned or jarred babcock peaches, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable canned stone fruit that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—senior centers, correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code in active use across multiple jurisdictions and issuing bodies, though the sourced opportunities reveal a broader pattern: counties, state departments, school districts, and special-purpose facilities all buy canned and processed fruit products under closely related commodity codes within the 50365000 family, with actual procurement spanning applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh and processed produce alongside babcock peaches. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products via informal written quote (IWQ 140229) due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Illinois procures weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned fruit products with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with recent bids posted from May through October 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases in May 2026 and 4,760 cases in July 2026, both due within weeks of posting), with pricing firm at approximately $21.82–$21.84 per case and historical awards to vendors such as Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner; the state applies a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requested bids on 115 line items of commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (June 26, 2026 deadline, MBE/CBE applicable), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, June 26, 2026 deadline, Buy American minimum 51 percent domestic content). Most food-service contracts run one to two years with optional renewal periods; payment terms typically range from Net 30 to Net 45 days; and vendors must provide commercial liability insurance, HACCP plans or food safety certification, and E-Verify authorization where applicable.
