UNSPSC 50365356: Canned or jarred snow king peaches

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

UNSPSC 50365356 Canned or jarred snow king peaches (Commodity) covers preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct purchasing of this specific commodity in favor of broader canned fruit categories and fresh produce alternatives. State and local issuing bodies soliciting preserved fruit products span state correctional systems, school districts, health and human services agencies, and municipal food service operations across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri. The work encompasses acquisition of canned and jarred fruits meeting USDA commodity specifications, typically for cafeteria and institutional dining programs, with requirements for compliance with FDA/USDA food safety standards, specified shelf life, and delivery in bulk quantities ranging from single truckloads to multi-item commodity bundles.

Recent activity demonstrates that preserved fruit procurement occurs primarily through invitation-to-bid and request-for-proposal vehicles issued by state departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, and health and human services commissions rather than as standalone snow king peach purchases. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with historical pricing at $21.84 per case, requiring FOB destination delivery and compliance with USDA 2011 commodity specifications. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables statewide under IFB HHS0016792 (extended due date February 23, 2026) covering 210 line items including canned goods as part of broader institutional food service contracts valued up to $4.5 million over three years. School districts including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issued IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce and grocery items with secondary canned fruit components, typically as part of comprehensive school nutrition procurement cycles running July through June with firm fixed pricing and volume-based delivery schedules. The code shows activity concentrated in correctional, education, and state health facility food service markets rather than a distinct market for snow king peaches specifically, suggesting this commodity code sees limited direct procurement volume and remains primarily a subordinate category within larger preserved fruit and canned goods solicitations.
