UNSPSC 50305303: August lady peaches

The variety of peaches known as august lady peaches

UNSPSC 50305303 August lady peaches, a Commodity code, covers the supply and delivery of fresh peaches to state and local institutions. In practice, state and local procurement under this code reflects broader fresh produce purchasing by institutional food service operations — the recent opportunities show that issuing bodies procure peaches as one line item within comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable supply contracts for schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and state departments of education, alongside correctional departments, departments of mental health, county boards of education, and municipal senior services divisions. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, reflecting the scale and frequency of institutional meal service across K–12 systems. Work solicited includes weekly or bi-weekly produce delivery with strict temperature and quality controls, HACCP plan submission, compliance with Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content in many cases), and responsiveness to seasonal demand variation.

Recent activity spans Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple fresh fruit and vegetable solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, and IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October 2026 response dates) targeting produce supply to correctional food warehouses. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County) and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) have issued bids or RFPs for fresh produce contracts during the same period, with response dates ranging from May through July 2026. The Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center, RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, September 3, 2026 deadline) and Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center, RFQ 27444DHSMENTHB53608, August 14, 2026 deadline) are also active. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and City of San Antonio, Texas have posted broader grocery and produce-market operations RFPs. Collier County, Florida (North Collier Regional Park, ITN 258360, March 6, 2025 deadline) and Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, June 24, 2026) are also buyers. No peaches are explicitly named in these solicitations as discrete line items — the code activity is implicit within multi-item fresh produce contracts. The concentration of recent activity centers on school nutrition procurement and correctional/institutional food service, with geographic clustering in the Southeast and Midwest through mid-2026.
