UNSPSC 50305327: Florida prince peaches

The variety of peaches known as florida prince peaches

UNSPSC 50305327 Florida prince peaches is a Commodity code that nominally names a single produce variety, but state and local purchasing activity under this code does not reflect procurement of Florida prince peaches specifically. Instead, the recent solicitations show school districts, correctional departments, mental health facilities, senior services, and other public bodies buying broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and mixed fresh fruits and vegetables—under commodity-level UNSPSC codes. The scope of work spans institutional food service: school nutrition programs serving hundreds of students daily under USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program and National School Lunch Program rules; prison and mental health facility dining; senior center produce distribution; and regional park concessions. Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, DeSoto County, Hancock County, Bryan County, Early County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, and others across multiple states), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county and municipal bodies (Collier County Parks, City of San Antonio, City of Edinburg, City of Bridgeport), and specialized public entities (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with additional recent solicitations from Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida. The code shows no evidence of peach procurement; the UNSPSC classification does not match the work actually being bought.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (IW267376 and IW267420, due October 14 and October 19, 2026, respectively); Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas bid under RFB 4162 with an estimated annual value of $78,000 (due July 29, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections' fresh produce supply to Joliet Treatment Center under small purchase procurement (due September 3, 2026, small business set-aside); and Bartow County School System's local fresh produce RFP requiring sourcing within 400 miles and weighted evaluation of cost, seasonal variety, and product quality (proposals due June 22, 2026). Most school-district procurements emphasize Buy American domestic content thresholds of 51 percent in processed products, HACCP compliance, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $1 million, and prevailing-wage certification where applicable. Evaluation criteria typically weight cost between 30 and 40 percent, with organizational qualifications, menu variety, food safety compliance, and local or diverse-business status accounting for the remainder. Contract terms generally run one fiscal year with optional renewal periods of one to three additional years.
