UNSPSC 50375318: Canned or jarred organic early treat peaches

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

UNSPSC 50375318 Canned or jarred organic early treat peaches, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly requesting organic canned peaches; instead, the code appears to receive state and local postings for broader food commodity buys that encompass canned fruit products without isolating the organic or early-treat variant. The Georgia Gwinnett County procurement (October 2026) solicited 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services, and Texas HHSC posted an IFB for supplemental food and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a potential contract value of up to $4.5 million over three years. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce—approximately 4,760 cases and 1,904 cases respectively—with historical awards at $21.84 and $21.827 per case. These operations rely on food-service vendors capable of meeting USDA commodity specifications, maintaining cold-chain logistics where required, and delivering in bulk quantities to centralized distribution points.

State and local buyers are concentrated in departments of corrections, education, human services, and veterans affairs; school districts and county boards of education appear as repeat issuing bodies. The geographic spread spans Georgia (Gwinnett County, State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, multiple quarterly food orders), Oregon (Department of Corrections, two applesauce bids in 2026), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). The Oregon and Texas corrections and human-services procurements set the pace for recent activity. Buyers typically demand firm fixed pricing on per-unit or per-case bases, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA grades and FDA food-safety standards, and proof of product shelf life. Many solicitations invoke Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content (typically 51 percent for processed items) and accept brand-or-equal substitutions. However, the code shows no recent opportunities explicitly tagged to organic or early-treat peach variants; vendors pursuing this commodity should monitor broader canned-fruit and shelf-stable food category buys and clarify during the Q&A cycle whether their organic certification and early-harvest positioning meet the issuing body's acceptable-equivalent or brand-specific requirements.
