UNSPSC 50365353: Canned or jarred sierra gem peaches

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

UNSPSC 50365353 Canned or jarred sierra gem peaches, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within institutional food procurement, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little activity specific to peaches themselves. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code predominantly cover broader canned and jarred fruit categories—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh produce—procured by state corrections departments, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state institutions. The scope of work encompasses bulk food supply for institutional food service, with state and local buyers specifying USDA commodity compliance, firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, delivery to central distribution points or school warehouses, and minimum shelf-life requirements. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing vehicles. The Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, with two recent applesauce solicitations (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026) seeking canned fruit under USDA 2011 commodity specifications, FOB destination with all transportation prepaid, and historical pricing at approximately $21.83–$21.85 per case.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities from Oregon (ODOC), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). The mix of issuing bodies reflects the institutional character of the market: state correctional systems and state-supported living centers account for several solicitations, while school nutrition programs dominate by volume. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce procurement (ITB S2910000017453, 4,760 cases due July 31, 2026, with 5% Oregon goods and 5% Oregon-headquarters preferences totaling 10%), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission food and consumable products bid for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with historical value $1.5 million annually), and multiple school district fresh produce and grocery bids (Hancock County Schools fresh produce due June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District grocery items and NOI products due April 29, 2026). The code shows steady procurement velocity across institutional food service but limited specificity to sierra gem peaches as a distinct SKU—vendors pursuing this code should expect broad canned and jarred fruit specifications requiring USDA compliance, Buy American certification where applicable, firm pricing, and reliable delivery infrastructure to multiple school and institutional sites.
