UNSPSC 50365362: Canned or jarred sun bright peaches

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

UNSPSC 50365362 Canned or jarred sun bright peaches is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within state and local food procurement — specifically preserved peaches in cans or jars. Recent solicitations, however, reveal that the code is populated largely with broader canned and preserved fruit buys, as state agencies, school districts, and other public bodies tag produce-based food service contracts under this commodity designation. The Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's statewide IFB for supplemental food and consumables (encompassing fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products including canned fruits) illustrate the typical pattern: procurement offices use the peaches code to solicit canned fruit and related shelf-stable produce items for institutional food service, including correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies span state purchasing agencies, county and independent school districts, and special-purpose authorities across the South and Pacific Northwest. School districts dominate activity, with multiple Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut school systems posting competitive bids for grocery items, produce, and food service products; state health and corrections departments appear as regular secondary buyers. The mix is fragmented by jurisdiction and function rather than concentrated among repeat buyers at any single tier.

Recent activity clusters in the South and upper Midwest, with notable 2026 solicitations from Oregon (Department of Corrections, applesauce ITB, response due July 31), Texas (HHSC and DSHS statewide supplemental food, response due July 13; TDCJ cafeteria food via Comptroller, response due May 4 as extended), Georgia (Liberty County Schools food IFB, response due April 29; Savannah-Chatham fresh produce bid, response due April 23; Muscogee County produce ITB, response due April 27), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education commodities, response due June 26), Missouri (Rockwood School District grocery items and NOI products, both due April 29), and Illinois (Chief Procurement Office quarterly food orders, response due June 17). Representative current opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' applesauce ITB (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026) seeking 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10% Oregon preference available; and the Texas HHSC/DSHS supplemental food and consumables IFB (HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) covering food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value guideline of $1.5 million and contract terms through August 31, 2028 with renewal options. Most school district procurements operate under annual or multi-year term contracts with firm pricing, 30- to 90-day payment cycles, and FOB destination delivery to multiple school sites; state institutional buyers typically require compliance with USDA commodity specifications, Buy American Act requirements for processed products (51% domestic content minimum where applicable), and insurance thresholds ranging from $500,000 to $2 million general liability.
