UNSPSC 50305335: Kaweah peaches

The variety of peaches known as kaweah peaches

UNSPSC 50305335 Kaweah peaches, a Commodity code, does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. Recent state and local opportunities are tagged to this code but involve fresh produce procurement broadly — including a full range of fruits and vegetables such as apples, bananas, berries, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, and tomatoes — rather than peaches specifically or the Kaweah variety. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued multiple fresh fruit and vegetable supply solicitations for correctional facilities (Snyder and Wynne Food Warehouses, Palestine), while the Illinois Department of Corrections and Illinois Department of Mental Health seek fresh produce for detention and mental health facilities. School districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, Wisconsin, and Connecticut are the dominant buyers, using competitive bid and RFP processes to source produce for child nutrition programs and school meal services. Counties and cities, including Collier County (Florida) for park concessions, San Antonio and Bridgeport for senior and school food services, and Head Start of Greater Dallas for child care programs, round out the issuing-body mix. The work encompasses weekly or bi-weekly fresh-produce delivery to centralized warehouses and distributed school and facility locations, with quality standards requiring USDA compliance, HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, and delivery within specified temperature ranges and timeframes.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County) posting multiple solicitations in May and June 2026, followed by Texas (TDCJ, Edinburg, Dallas), Illinois (Corrections, Mental Health), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District) solicitations. Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued fresh fruit and vegetable RFQs for Wynne Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026; Solicitation IW267411) and Snyder Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026; Solicitation IW267420), while a separate TDCJ procurement for Palestine (due October 19, 2026; Solicitation IW267376) remains open. Illinois Department of Corrections solicited fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026; Solicitation 27426DOCJOLIEB53849). Madison Metropolitan School District issued competitive RFBs for petite bananas with an estimated contract value of $78,000 for September 2026 through June 2027 (due July 29, 2026; RFB 4162) and for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles and a 5% diverse-owned-business preference (due July 29, 2026; RFB 4163).
