UNSPSC 50305306: Babcock peaches

The variety of peaches known as babcock peaches

UNSPSC 50305306 Babcock peaches is a Commodity code used to classify fresh peach procurement by state and local government buyers, though recent solicitations under this code actually span broader fresh produce supply — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, and comprehensive food-service categories for institutional meal programs rather than peaches specifically. State and local governments buying under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District, Bryan County Schools, Early County Board of Education, Dougherty County Board of Education), state corrections and mental health agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county governments (Collier County), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and Head Start programs. The work being solicited ranges from single-commodity contracts for specific produce items — petite bananas by weekly case count for school breakfast and lunch programs, fresh produce delivered bi-weekly to correctional facilities and mental health centers — to comprehensive fresh fruit and vegetable supply agreements for child and adult care food programs serving hundreds of daily meals, with vendors typically required to meet USDA quality standards, maintain cold-chain delivery, provide traceability documentation, and comply with prevailing wage and food-safety regulations including HACCP plans.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia (Bryan County Schools, Bartow County School System, Dougherty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education), Texas (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin, Texas Department of Criminal Justice at Palestine and Snyder and Wynne facilities, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of San Antonio), and Illinois (Illinois Department of Corrections at Joliet, Illinois Department of Mental Health at Hines), with additional activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Mississippi (DeSoto County Schools), and Florida (Collier County). Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's request for fresh fruit and vegetables delivered to food warehouses at Wynne in Huntsville and Snyder (IFB IW267411 and IW267420, responses due October 14, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas in 150-count cases for weekly delivery September 2026 through June 2027 with estimated annual value of $78,000 (RFB 4162, bids due July 29, 2026); and Head Start of Greater Dallas' IFB for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and fresh produce to meet Child and Adult Care Food Program standards (IFB 26-GP, bids due June 24, 2026, total estimated value $969,460.94).
