UNSPSC 50385809: Classic peach purees

The variety of peaches known as classic peaches which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385809 Classic peach purees (Commodity) represents shelf-stable processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and senior services centers. The recent activity under this code shows state and local agencies buying canned and processed fruit items as part of broader food-supply contracts, though peach purees specifically appear infrequently in posted solicitations; instead, agencies are more actively soliciting applesauce, dried fruit products, fresh produce, and mixed food commodities that span multiple fruit categories. The issuing bodies include state departments (Texas HHS, Oregon Corrections, Illinois Veterans Services, Georgia), county school boards (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Austin ISD), city education nutrition programs (Bridgeport), and state-level procurement offices purchasing on behalf of correctional facilities and residential care centers. Contracts typically specify USDA compliance, shelf-life minimums, packaging requirements, and delivery to central distribution or warehouse locations; awards are made on lowest responsive bid or best-value criteria with pricing evaluated per unit of measure.

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (June 2026 and July 2026 closing dates) with 1,904 and 4,760 cases respectively, applying 5 percent Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued a statewide food and consumables bid (IFB HHS0017449, due July 2026) covering multiple NIGP commodity classes with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and estimated three-year potential value of $4.5 million; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables (IFB, October 2026); and Hancock County Schools sought fresh produce bids for the 2026–27 school year spanning over 200 line items (IFB, June 2026). Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy posted multiple quarterly food-order solicitations in brand-specific and brand-or-equal formats (June and August 2026). Austin Independent School District solicited dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP (July 2026). Bridgeport, Connecticut and Texas TDCJ solicitations covered broad commodity categories that include but are not limited to fruit products. Activity is heaviest in June through October 2026, with responses typically due within one to three weeks of posting.
