UNSPSC 50305300: Peaches

A fruit tree (prunus persica) of the family rosaceae (rose family) having decorative pink blossoms and a juicy, sweet drupe fruit.

UNSPSC 50305300 Peaches, a Class code, covers the supply and delivery of fresh peaches and related produce to state and local institutions—primarily correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, and regional parks. Recent solicitations frame the work as part of broader institutional food service procurement, where peaches appear as one line item within larger fresh-produce contracts that include fruits, vegetables, and eggs. State and local buyers source peaches through competitive sealed-bid and proposal processes, typically as components of multi-item produce supply agreements rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county parks and senior services divisions, and regional coalitions serving child and adult care food programs. Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and multiple Georgia school districts appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Procurement activity concentrates in Texas, Illinois, and Georgia, with additional recent solicitations from Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's solicitation for fresh fruit and vegetables to Palestine (IFB IW267376, due October 19, 2026) and Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (IFB IW267420 and IW267411, both due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' quote request for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center (small-business set-aside, due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's bids for petite bananas at $78,000 estimated annual value (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison with organic produce pricing preference (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System's request for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with optional renewal terms; pricing remains firm for the contract period unless escalation clauses tied to USDA or Consumer Price Index benchmarks apply. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, carry commercial liability and workers' compensation insurance, maintain HACCP plans, and meet food-safety and delivery-temperature standards.
