UNSPSC 50375309: Canned or jarred organic classic peaches

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

UNSPSC 50375309 Canned or jarred organic classic peaches, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — primarily for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both branded and brand-or-equal specifications for canned peaches and related shelf-stable fruit products (applesauce, dried fruit bars, and apple crisps) delivered in bulk case quantities to central distribution points or on-site delivery locations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, state veterans homes, independent school districts, and county senior services departments. The procurement method varies — counties and school districts typically use IFB or RFQ for routine food service supply, while state agencies use IFB or RFP with formal competitive bidding and performance standards that mandate USDA compliance, liability insurance, and delivery specifications.

Geographic activity spans multiple states, with recent competitive solicitations posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections (two ITBs for canned applesauce, May and July 2026), the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, June and August 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh produce, June 2026), Austin Independent School District in Texas (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, RFP due July 16, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases (commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, bids due June 26, 2026). Oregon ODOC bids show historical pricing around $21.84–$21.83 per case for canned applesauce with a 5 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-based bidders. Delivery terms consistently require FOB Destination with prepaid freight, minimum one-year shelf life, USDA and FDA compliance, and delivery within 45–60 days or on weekly ordering cycles depending on the buying entity and contract type.
