UNSPSC 50375320: Canned or jarred organic empress peaches

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

UNSPSC 50375320 Canned or jarred organic empress peaches (Commodity) reflects state and local food service procurement activity dominated by school districts, state correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies procuring canned fruit and fruit-based products—applesauce, fruit bars, and fresh and frozen produce alongside canned goods—for institutional meal programs. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), large school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), city governments (City of Bridgeport), and smaller county school boards (Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), with school nutrition programs representing the most frequent buyer across recent solicitations. Work under the code encompasses commodity procurement for institutional food service—typically multi-month or annual contracts specifying case quantities, delivery schedules, USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, and firm fixed pricing. Recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and state supported living centers (historical value $1.5 million annually), and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products for the 2026-2027 school year due April 2, 2026.

The code sees the most recent procurement activity across Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts in Georgia and Texas issuing the highest volume of food service solicitations. Geographic spread is substantial: Texas Health and Human Services operates across statewide locations including Terrell, Denton, Mexia, Lubbock, San Angelo, Austin, Kerrville, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, and El Paso; Douglas County School System serves 30 districts across two Georgia areas; Fairfax County Public Schools operates 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution centers; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System delivers to 60 designated school sites. Common procurement vehicles include ITBs and RFPs with response periods of 30–60 days, Buy American Act compliance as a standard requirement, firm fixed pricing for the full contract term, delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses on a weekly or as-needed schedule, and mandatory insurance coverage (typically $1 million commercial general liability). Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction—Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference for in-state goods and bidders, Texas emphasizes HUB subcontracting plan encouragement without mandate, and Georgia and Connecticut apply Buy American provisions under the National School Lunch Act. Incumbent vendors are not consistently identified across solicitations, and contract values for school nutrition procurement range from estimated annual spend of $4.4 million (Douglas County Area One produce) to $9 million (Douglas County food supply and distribution).
