UNSPSC 50305343: Redglobe peaches

The variety of peaches known as redglobe peaches

UNSPSC 50305343 Redglobe peaches (Commodity) comprises fresh produce items that state and local governments procure to support child nutrition, school meal programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing fresh fruits and vegetables—including peaches and similar stone fruits, berries, melons, citrus, and specialty produce—alongside broader grocery and fresh-produce categories for child and adult care programs, school nutrition departments, and correctional facilities. The issuing bodies span school districts of varying sizes (from rural county systems to large urban districts like Austin ISD and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), county boards of education, municipal departments (San Antonio Parks & Recreation and Human Services for senior programming), regional buying cooperatives (the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts), Head Start agencies, and correctional facilities. Most recent opportunities weight cost heavily (30–50 points in evaluation matrices), demand compliance with Buy American provisions and HACCP plans, require firm pricing for extended periods, and mandate weekly or bi-weekly deliveries to multiple school sites or institutional locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon, reflecting both large district procurement and multistate cooperative purchasing vehicles. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas, RFP 2026-017 for CACFP meal program supplies (due August 4, 2026) serving 400 children daily with local-vendor preference; the Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles (deadline June 22, 2026); the GEC Buying Cooperative RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two Georgia geographic areas totaling approximately $5.5 million annually (due March 4, 2026); and Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFQDST for Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary schools (proposals due March 11, 2026, with an estimated annual budget of $600,000). Smaller districts like Bryan County Schools (Georgia) and Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia) issue sealed bids for produce on an annual basis, while larger systems such as Henry County Schools and Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut, ~$3.1 million anticipated value) issue competitive ITBs or RFPs with multiple-vendor awards and detailed ordering, delivery, and commodity-management system requirements. Most contracts run July 1 through June 30 and permit two to four renewal terms.
