UNSPSC 50305331: Ivory princess peaches

The variety of peaches known as ivory princess peaches

UNSPSC 50305331 Ivory princess peaches, a Commodity code, captures fresh produce supply for institutional food service — primarily schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child-care programs. State and local governments procure these items as line-item components of broader meal programs, often bundled with other fresh fruits, vegetables, and grocery products rather than as standalone peach-only contracts. The recent opportunities show that procurement offices solicit fresh produce across multiple categories (apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, tomatoes) with peaches appearing as one item within a larger line-item bid specification, not as a specialty commodity commanding separate solicitations. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county school districts, city school systems, senior services divisions, and child-care program operators. School nutrition programs dominate the activity, driven by National School Lunch Program funding and USDA procurement rules; correctional and mental health facilities account for a secondary but consistent stream of demand.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for the Palestine facility (RFP IW267376, due October 19, 2026), the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce for Joliet Treatment Center on a bi-weekly delivery schedule with prevailing wage compliance (RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026), and Madison Metropolitan School District bidding for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under separate line-item RFBs (RFB 4162 for petite bananas at $78,000 estimated annual value, and RFB 4163 for fresh snacks with a 400-mile Wisconsin-sourced locational preference, both due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) is bidding fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026-27 school year with a Buy American 51% domestic requirement (IFB due June 26, 2026). Pricing models vary: firm-fixed unit pricing dominates school district contracts; cost-plus-fee arrangements appear in correctional and health-facility procurements; and local-preference and organic-pricing discounts are emerging in newer school district solicitations. Lead times from posting to due date typically run two to four weeks; school nutrition contracts often run a full academic year (July through June) with optional one-year renewal terms.
