UNSPSC 50305311: Crest haven peaches

The variety of peaches known as crest haven peaches

UNSPSC 50305311 Crest haven peaches (Commodity) covers fresh stone fruit sourcing and delivery to state and local institutional food service operations. State and local jurisdictions buy fresh peaches and comparable stone fruits as components of broader produce procurement for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, mental health centers, senior services, and regional parks. The work is solicited most often through RFQ, RFB, and ITN notice types, typically as a line item within larger food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone peach-specific solicitation. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments, school districts, county boards of education, municipal parks departments, and specialized healthcare facilities. Most recent activity shows Texas Department of Criminal Justice conducting repeated produce solicitations across regional food warehouses in Palestine and Snyder with response windows of five to seven business days, while Illinois correctional and mental health agencies, Georgia and Mississippi school districts, and municipal food-service operations in Texas and Connecticut solicit fresh produce regularly as part of institutional meal programs. A small-business set-aside designation appears in Illinois corrections procurement; local-vendor preferences and domestic sourcing requirements are common in school district and municipal acquisitions.

State and local procurement under this code concentrates in Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with activity spread across both urban and rural jurisdictions. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetable supply to its Snyder Food Warehouse (IW267420, response due October 14, 2026) and Palestine facility (IW267376, response due October 19, 2026) via electronic submission through the TDCJ Procurement Portal; the Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center soliciting bi-weekly fresh produce delivery under a small-business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); and the Madison Metropolitan School District Food & Nutrition Department requesting petite bananas in 150-count case packs (RFB 4162, estimated annual value $78,000, due July 29, 2026). School districts frequently specify produce sourced within 400 miles of service locations and impose Buy American requirements, HACCP compliance, and insurance minimums of $1 million liability. Correctional and mental health agencies emphasize weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules with quality guarantees and damage-replacement provisions at vendor cost. Peaches as a discrete line item appear infrequently in posted solicitations; the code's activity reflects broader institutional fresh-produce procurement where peaches compete alongside apples, bananas, berries, and seasonal stone fruits.
