UNSPSC 50305338: Loring peaches

The variety of peaches known as loring peaches

UNSPSC 50305338 Loring peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce supply and delivery to institutional food service operations, particularly correctional facilities, school districts, senior services, and healthcare providers. State and local governments procure fresh fruits and vegetables — including specific produce varieties and bulk quantities — primarily for child nutrition programs, inmate meals, senior center operations, and mental health facility dining. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, county and city school boards, regional health coalitions, county boards of education, and municipal senior services divisions. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, require compliance with USDA Buy American provisions (domestic sourcing at 51 percent or higher for processed items; fresh produce sourcing within specified mileage radii in some cases), HACCP plans, food safety certifications, prevailing wage compliance in some states, and liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million depending on contract value. Payment terms commonly run Net 30 to Net 45 days, with pricing either fixed for the contract term or subject to monthly or quarterly escalation tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices. Bidders must meet E-Verify requirements, debarment and suspension verification, non-discrimination certifications, and anti-collusion affidavits; diverse-owned business certifications and local-vendor preferences (ranging from 5 to 10 evaluation points) appear frequently.
