UNSPSC 50385820: Empress peach purees

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

UNSPSC 50385820 Empress peach purees is a Commodity code that covers canned and shelf-stable fruit products sourced for institutional food service, school meal programs, and state corrections and health facilities. The code's actual procurement activity shows state and local buyers purchasing a broader range of canned fruit and processed fruit items — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and mixed commodity lots that include peaches and other preserves — rather than empress peach purees specifically. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county school systems, city school districts, county commissions, and state facilities. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appear as repeat buyers, with HHSC procuring supplemental food and consumables statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers across multiple solicitation cycles. School districts and county education boards drive significant volume through nutrition and cafeteria food procurement for multi-year contracts.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Illinois, and Arizona. Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned fruit applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), with a historical award at $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission soliciting supplemental food and consumables including fruits across 210 line items statewide (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026, with a potential three-year value of $4,500,000); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and related products (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office requesting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on a quarterly basis with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options (27497DVAQUINCB53751 and 27497DVAQUINCB53752, both due August 24, 2026).
