UNSPSC 50365350: Canned or jarred royal lady peaches

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

UNSPSC 50365350 Canned or jarred royal lady peaches (Commodity) describes shelf-stable, branded or equivalent canned peach products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, primarily to support nutrition programs, senior services, correctional facilities, and school meal operations. The code sees active solicitation activity across correctional departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and county nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and county purchasing offices, city school nutrition centers, and regional state-supported living centers. The work consists of procuring peaches in standardized cases for delivery to central distribution centers, with specifications typically tied to USDA commodity standards, shelf-life requirements, and brand-or-equivalent allowances. Recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers often consolidate peach purchases as line items within larger food commodity procurements rather than as standalone peach-only contracts, though fruit products do appear in dedicated solicitations when part of focused nutrition initiatives.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state purchasing, and multiple Georgia school districts and county boards. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB for 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) and a subsequent ITB for approximately 4,760 cases (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) with a historical price of $21.84 per case awarded to Robbins Sales in June 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned fruits (PE77023NONST2027000000782, an informal written quote due October 19, 2026) for the Department of Community Services. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (27497DVAQUINCB53752 and 27497DVAQUINCB53751, proposals due August 24, 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned fruit products for state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide (HHS0016792V2, response deadline March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years). Peaches and comparable canned fruit items typically command firm fixed pricing per case or unit, FOB destination delivery to central distribution points, and compliance with USDA commodity grades and shelf-life standards, with awards commonly made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or, increasingly, on a best-value basis that may consider vendor performance history alongside price.
