UNSPSC 50365338: Canned or jarred loring peaches

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

UNSPSC 50365338 Canned or jarred peaches (Commodity) is a narrow product line that state and local governments source primarily through school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, and health and human services institutions. In recent solicitations, the code shows a clear pattern of procurement activity across school districts, state departments of corrections, and state health agencies buying shelf-stable canned fruit products to support institutional food service operations.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and county systems (Muscogee County School District). Recent opportunities show that canned fruit procurement is bundled within broader food-supply RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs covering institutional menus rather than purchased as a standalone line item. Representative solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (July 31, 2026 response) for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at an estimated $21.84 per case, and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 (responses due February 23 and March 19, 2026 in successive addenda) for supplemental food and consumable products across 23 qualified ordering entities serving state hospitals and state supported living centers, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities posted by Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, DISD, Austin ISD), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office), Georgia (multiple school districts and state agencies), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). The code sees regular activity among school nutrition programs in Georgia and Texas, which account for the majority of posted solicitations. Award values and volumes vary widely by institution; school district procurements typically specify unit pricing in the low-to-mid twenty-dollar range per case for applesauce and similar canned fruit, while state-level consolidated purchases support larger volumes across multiple delivery points. Evaluation across these procurements emphasizes compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American provisions (with 51% domestic content requirements for processed products in many school districts), appropriate shelf life (typically one year minimum), and competitive unit pricing on a firm-fixed basis for the contract term.
