UNSPSC 50305304: Autumn flame peaches

The variety of peaches known as autumn flame peaches

UNSPSC 50305304 Autumn flame peaches (Commodity) covers fresh peach supply to institutional food-service operations, but the recent state and local solicitations show the code is being applied inconsistently to procurements spanning multiple produce categories — including mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, generic produce bins, and complete food-service platforms — rather than autumn flame peaches specifically. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Hancock County, Early County, DeSoto County in Georgia, Mississippi, and Wisconsin) and state institutional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health) procuring produce for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and mental-health centers. Several municipalities and quasi-governmental organizations also appear, including Collier County (North Collier Regional Park food concessions), the City of Bridgeport (Board of Education), City of Edinburg (CACFP program), and Head Start of Greater Dallas. The activity is concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Florida, and Connecticut, reflecting geographic distribution across school nutrition procurement rather than vendor concentration.

Representative recent activity includes the Madison Metropolitan School District RFB for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated annual value $78,000) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026, requiring Wisconsin-sourced produce within 400 miles); the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to multiple food warehouses (IW267376 Palestine facility, IW267411 Wynne warehouse, IW267420 Snyder warehouse, all with October response deadlines in 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center on a bi-weekly delivery schedule under small-business set-aside (quote due September 3, 2026); the Dougherty County Board of Education sealed-bid procurement for 40 produce line items across 24 school sites (bids due June 16, 2026); and Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (ITN response due March 6, 2025, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points). School districts dominate volume; most solicitations emphasize delivery frequency (twice-weekly or weekly), strict temperature and quality standards, Buy American compliance where applicable, and firm pricing with no fuel surcharges. Set-asides vary by jurisdiction — some school districts apply local-vendor or diverse-owned-business preferences; none of the institutional agency procurements (TDCJ, Illinois DOC) specify disadvantaged-enterprise restrictions in available documentation.
