UNSPSC 50385821: Encore peach purees

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

UNSPSC 50385821 Encore peach purees is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within fruit and vegetable procurement, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reveal a broader food-service purchasing pattern. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying shelf-stable and fresh food products — including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and mixed commodity food items — for school districts, state corrections facilities, state supported living centers, senior services, and state veterans homes. The code's nominal scope (peach purees) does not align with the actual work being solicited; most recent opportunities name applesauce, mixed produce, or broad food-service categories rather than peach products specifically. Issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), city school districts (Austin Independent School District, City of Bridgeport), and specialized state facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Veterans Home).

Geographic spread covers the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), South, (Georgia, Texas, Alabama), Midwest (Illinois), and Northeast (Connecticut), with the most recent and highest-dollar activity visible in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case, bids due July 31, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote request for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million (bid response deadline March 19, 2026 — past), and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce across 200+ line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The code shows consistent activity across multiple issuing bodies and geographies, though the disconnect between the nominal commodity (peach purees) and the actual solicitations (mixed food service) suggests either broad tagging or data-entry misalignment in the source systems.
