The variety of peaches known as flame crest peaches

UNSPSC 50305324 Flame crest peaches is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce under this code to supply institutional food service operations—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, child care programs, and regional parks. The recent activity shows purchases of individual produce items (bananas, apples, lettuce, carrots, onions, tomatoes, peppers, and other fresh fruits and vegetables) delivered on fixed schedules to central warehouses or individual facility locations, typically with quality specifications tied to USDA standards, freshness guarantees, and temperature-controlled transport. Issuing bodies span school districts, state departments of corrections and mental health, county boards of education, municipalities, and specialized food-service contractors operating under federal programs such as the National School Lunch Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice appears repeatedly as a buyer, soliciting produce for multiple food warehouses serving inmate populations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional solicitations from Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted three fresh-produce solicitations between September 30 and October 12, 2026 (IFB/RFQ notices for Palestine, Snyder Food Warehouse, and Wynne Food Warehouse, all with October response deadlines). Georgia school districts—Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, and Early County—issued multiple RFB and IFB notices for fresh produce between May and June 2026, each covering the 2026-2027 school year with contract terms typically running July 1 through June 30. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) released two RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (estimated $78,000 annual value, due July 29) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due July 29, contingent on federal grant approval). The Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center and the Illinois Department of Corrections Joliet Treatment Center each sought fresh-produce suppliers in August 2026 under small-purchase and IFB vehicles, respectively. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a March 6, 2025 due date (note: date discrepancy suggests possible posting error). The code shows consistent demand from institutional food-service buyers with standardized procurement processes—sealed bids, fixed pricing, firm delivery schedules, HACCP compliance, and Buy American requirements where applicable.
