UNSPSC 50365333 Canned or jarred john henry peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products, though recent solicitations reveal a much broader pattern than the code's narrow nominal scope suggests.

Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education), county school systems (Muscogee County, Douglas County in Georgia), and municipal bodies (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School nutrition programs are the dominant buyer, with multiple districts running annual food service contracts that include canned and processed fruit alongside fresh produce and other staples. The work being solicited ranges from small, single-item procurements (Oregon Department of Corrections requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce) to large multi-category food service contracts (Texas HHSC requesting 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, valued at up to $4.5 million over three years).

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Oregon (canned applesauce for corrections), Texas (multiple HHSC and school district food service contracts totaling millions annually), Georgia (school nutrition programs across multiple county systems), Connecticut (municipal board of education), Illinois (state-level institutional food service), and Missouri (school district nutrition programs). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case with a 10% combined preference for Oregon goods and bidders, delivery required in five truckloads to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior annual value of $1.5 million and available for use by the Department of State Health Services; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 (due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 service covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries and a requirement for bidders to demonstrate three years of food delivery experience.
