UNSPSC 50385842: Red lady peach purees

The variety of peaches known as red lady peaches which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385842 Red lady peach purees, a Commodity code, does not map closely to the state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this code cover canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections, ITB, due Jul 31, 2026), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District, RFP, due Jul 16, 2026), and weekly food orders for state facilities (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, due Jun 17, 2026). The code shows activity across food service procurement for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state institutional meals, but the recent solicitations do not include peach purees specifically. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, independent school districts, and state agencies procuring through centralized food service operations. Geographic activity appears concentrated in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut based on the posted opportunities.

The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (red lady peach purees) and the actual work being solicited (applesauce, dried fruit products, and institutional meal components) suggests either a coding error in the state and local databases or a broader institutional food product category that encompasses multiple canned and processed fruit items under a single taxonomy entry. Vendors pursuing work under this code should not assume peach puree demand; instead, they should target the broader institutional food service and school nutrition market represented by the recent solicitations. State and local procurement offices using this code appear to apply it to commodity food purchases across multiple product lines rather than to a specific peach varietal. The activity is driven by meal service requirements at correctional facilities, state health services institutions, and school nutrition programs, with contract values ranging from estimated volumes in thousands of cases (Oregon ODOC: 4,760 cases) to multi-million-dollar annual institutional supply contracts (Texas HHSC: $1.5 million historical value; Douglas County Schools: $9 million estimated annual food supply).
