UNSPSC 50375333: Canned or jarred organic john henry peaches

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

UNSPSC 50375333 Canned or jarred organic john henry peaches, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services centers, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned and jarred fruit (applesauce, peaches, and mixed fruits) as components of broader food-supply contracts rather than as standalone line items; the code's nominal focus on a specific branded product name does not reflect how jurisdictions actually source these items. Government buyers specify USDA commodity standards, require FDA compliance, and typically allow "brand or equal" substitutions to broaden bidder competition. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, municipal school districts, and special-purpose institutions such as veterans homes. Scope varies from single-item procurements (canned applesauce for correctional feeding) to multi-line-item food commodity bundles where preserved fruit represents one of dozens of shelf-stable SKUs alongside proteins, vegetables, grains, and dairy.

Geographic activity spans multiple regions, with recent opportunities concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (May and July 2026, with historical award prices around $21.83 per case); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a $4.5 million statewide IFB for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers with a March 2026 closing; Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable foods including canned items (due October 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on multiple quarterly cycles (June through August 2026). School districts including Austin Independent School District and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia also procured fresh and processed fruit items. The code shows active, recurring institutional demand but does not dominate any single jurisdiction's procurement calendar; buyers typically bundle preserved fruit into larger food-supply contracts rather than awarding dedicated canned-peach agreements.
