UNSPSC 50305344: Redhaven peaches

The variety of peaches known as redhaven peaches

UNSPSC 50305344 Redhaven peaches, a Commodity code, describes fresh produce supply for institutional food service — primarily school meal programs, correctional and mental health facilities, and senior services. State and local governments buy fresh peaches and related stone fruits as part of broader produce procurement contracts that support child nutrition programs (CACFP), school breakfast and lunch operations, and food service at detention facilities and healthcare institutions. The issuing bodies span school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), state departments of corrections and mental health, county boards of education, city human services departments, and specialized agencies such as Head Start operators and senior center systems. The work involves bidding on produce supply, delivery logistics, compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions, temperature-controlled transport, and adherence to food safety protocols including HACCP documentation. Many solicitations carry local-vendor preferences and encourage participation from small, minority, women, and diverse-owned businesses, though set-asides are not universal.

Activity under this code concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. Recent representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing two separate RFPs for fresh fruit and vegetables to food warehouses serving correctional facilities (IW267420, Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026; IW267411, Wynne Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting quotes for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a one-year contract with a small business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026); and multiple school districts conducting sealed bid procurement for fresh produce to support school nutrition programs. Madison Metropolitan School District issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas at $78,000 annual estimated value (due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a geographic preference for sourcing within Wisconsin and 400 miles of Madison (due July 29, 2026). Georgia school districts including Bartow County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, and Hancock County all conducted fresh produce solicitations between May and June 2026. The code shows consistent, recurring procurement across institutional buyers, with response dates typically clustered in the spring and early fall to align with school-year purchasing cycles.
