UNSPSC 50375329: Canned or jarred organic harvester peaches

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

UNSPSC 50375329 Canned or jarred organic harvester peaches, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including cafeteria, correctional facility, veterans' home, senior center, and state-supported living center operations. Recent solicitations reveal that the code encompasses not only peaches but the broader universe of canned fruit offerings—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fruit products—typically procured as components of larger food-supply contracts rather than in isolation. Issuing bodies span county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia; Austin Independent School District, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Georgia), and municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). County school districts and state correctional and health agencies dominate recent activity. Procurement volume is substantial; representative recent bids target 1,900+ cases of applesauce per order, and multi-year contracts for comprehensive food and consumable products frequently value $1.5 million to $4.5 million across their terms. Vendors typically compete on unit pricing, compliance with USDA commodity or grade specifications, delivery timeline and location flexibility, and demonstrated vendor performance history.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in the Midwest and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2, 2026, and July 31, 2026, response dates), each targeting approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with firm pricing historically around $21.83 per case and Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders (including canned fruit components) for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (June 17 and August 24, 2026, response dates). Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned products (October 19, 2026 deadline), with delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center and pricing evaluated per ounce. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Department of State Health Services jointly issued a large IFB (HHS0016792V2, now closed) covering 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years for delivery to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products appear consistently across school district and state health procurements. F.O.B. Destination delivery prepaid by contractor is standard, with delivery windows typically 45–72 hours and minimum one-year shelf life required for all canned goods.
