UNSPSC 50385863: Sunhigh peach purees

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

UNSPSC 50385863 Sunhigh peach purees, a Commodity code, describes fruit purees and processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations—though recent solicitations under this code emphasize canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad grocery categories rather than peach purees specifically. State and local issuing bodies include school districts (particularly large systems such as Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, and Rockwood R-VI School District), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education, and municipal food service operations. The work solicited ranges from single-commodity procurement (canned applesauce in standardized cases) to broad master grocery contracts encompassing hundreds of line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, fruits, and specialty dietary items. Qualification thresholds typically include three to five years of food service delivery experience, commercial general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence), compliance with Buy American and USDA commodity standards, and E-Verify authorization where applicable. Contracts are predominantly firm-fixed-price with delivery FOB destination, prepaid freight, and thermal and shelf-life requirements for frozen and refrigerated products.

Recent activity clusters in the South (Georgia school districts including Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, and Hancock County; Texas agencies including HHSC, TDCJ, and Dallas ISD) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri) and Northeast (Bridgeport, Connecticut). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items, due February 23, 2026, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years); the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (approximately $9 million annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026); Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products (due April 2, 2026, covering 2026-27 school year); Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (52 schools plus distribution points, due April 27, 2026); and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate, with multi-vendor awards common, cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative expanding reach to consortia of 20–30 districts, and state set-asides (Oregon's 10% combined preference for in-state fabrication and headquarters; Texas HUB encouragement) influencing award decisions where stated.
