UNSPSC 50305310: Country sweet peaches

The variety of peaches known as country sweet peaches

UNSPSC 50305310 Country sweet peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit procurement for school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and institutional food services. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily sourcing fresh produce—including peaches, apples, bananas, berries, carrots, broccoli, and other items—to support federally funded meal programs serving children and vulnerable populations. School districts, child care food program administrators, and county boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, with the vast majority of recent activity concentrated in Georgia (including Bryan County Schools, Dougherty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bulloch County Schools, Hancock County Schools, and the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across the state). Activity also appears in Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Head Start of Greater Dallas, City of Edinburg), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Mississippi (DeSoto County Schools), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and California (County of Santa Clara). Buy American provisions are standard across solicitations, typically mandating domestic sourcing or a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content; local-vendor preferences and geographic sourcing filters (e.g., produce within 200–400 miles) are common, particularly in Texas and Georgia. HACCP compliance, food safety certifications, and liability insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 minimums) are universal. Contract terms typically run one year with multiple renewal options.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the range of activity. Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin (5,900 servings weekly, due July 29, 2026). The City of Edinburg, Texas, issued RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies spanning five categories including produce, with proposals due August 4, 2026, and local-vendor preference applying under Texas Local Government Code Section 271.9051. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The GEC Buying Cooperative, representing 30 Georgia school districts, issued RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs divided into two geographic areas with estimated combined annual spending of approximately $5.5 million and proposals due March 4, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issued RFP 26039RFPDST for specialty fruits and vegetables supporting the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary school sites, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000 and proposals due March 11, 2026. Contract values in recent solicitations range from approximately $78,000 annually (Madison petite bananas) to $3.1 million (Meriden Public Schools commercial groceries and produce). The code shows steady, continuous procurement activity with high issuing frequency across multiple jurisdictions, indicating sustained institutional demand and competitive opportunities for produce vendors meeting federal compliance, food safety, and local-sourcing requirements.
