UNSPSC 50305345: Redtop peaches

The variety of peaches known as redtop peaches

UNSPSC 50305345 Redtop peaches (Commodity) describes fresh peach supply to institutional food service operations, though recent state and local solicitations show that peaches are procured as part of broader fresh produce categories rather than as a standalone commodity. State and local governments buy redtop peaches and other fresh fruits through institutional food-service contracts serving schools, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, DeSoto County, and Bryan County boards of education in multiple states), state corrections and mental health departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), counties (Collier County, DeSoto County), cities (Bridgeport, San Antonio, Edinburg), and nonprofit service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Marion Health Care Coalition). Peaches do not appear as a line item in most recent solicitations; instead, produce procurement bundles apples, bananas, berries, citrus, melons, stone fruits, and vegetables. When peaches are specified, they arrive as part of seasonal fruit rotation or are embedded in broader fresh-produce line-item lists without separate focus.

Recent produce solicitations concentrate in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine and Snyder food warehouses (due October 19 and October 14, 2026, respectively), the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for fiscal 2027 (due August 14, 2026), Madison Metropolitan School District bidding petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks for school-year 2026–27 (due July 29, 2026 at estimated annual value $78,000), and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County) issuing IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce during May and June 2026 with deliveries to school nutrition programs across 20–41 sites. Contracts typically run one school or fiscal year with optional one-to-four-year renewals; pricing is fixed unless market indices or fuel allowances apply; and delivery is required weekly or bi-weekly to central warehouses or individual school sites between early morning (5:00–6:30 a.m.) and mid-day (2:00–2:30 p.m.). Buy American, USDA compliance, HACCP plans, food-safety certifications, and general liability insurance ($500,000–$1,000,000) are standard conditions; some solicitations include small-business set-asides, local-vendor preferences (10% bonus points in Collier County; 5% in Wisconsin), and diverse-business certifications.
