UNSPSC 50305332: Jersey queen peaches

The variety of peaches known as jersey queen peaches

UNSPSC 50305332 Jersey queen peaches is a Commodity code representing fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service. State and local governments under this code buy fresh produce—primarily peaches but also a broad range of apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and citrus—for delivery to correctional facilities, mental health centers, school nutrition programs, senior centers, child care facilities, and regional parks. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school districts, county boards of education, municipal parks departments, and specialized food-service entities such as Head Start organizations and health care coalitions. The work involves line-item produce procurement on fixed or cost-plus-fee contracts, typically with weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules, USDA quality and food-safety compliance, and firm pricing over contract periods ranging from a single school year to three years with renewal options.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida, driven by school nutrition programs sourcing produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, state correctional and mental health systems supplying institutional food service, and child nutrition initiatives. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses serving multiple facilities (IW267420 and IW267411, October 2026 deadlines); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with geographic sourcing preferences and estimated annual values (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, July 2026); Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB for over 200 line items of fresh produce across multiple apple and vegetable varieties for school year 2026-27 (June 2026); and DeSoto County School District sourcing fresh produce across 41 school sites on a bi-annual cost-plus-fee model with 97% service-level requirements (June 2026). Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, prevailing-wage certification where applicable, and local-vendor preferences are standard evaluation factors across jurisdictions.
