UNSPSC 50305345: Redtop peaches

The variety of peaches known as redtop peaches

UNSPSC 50305345 Redtop peaches, a Commodity code, sees limited direct activity in recent state and local solicitations—the code itself does not appear in current procurement records—but related fresh produce and fruit purchasing is robust across school districts, child nutrition programs, and municipal food services nationwide. State and local buyers procure fresh peaches and similar stone fruits as part of broader fresh produce contracts that serve school meal programs (National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program) and specialized federal initiatives such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program. These jurisdictions typically combine peaches with dozens of other produce line items in single-award or multiple-award contracts, evaluating on cost (often 30–50% weight), product quality and availability, delivery reliability, compliance with Buy American and food safety standards (HACCP plans, traceability, recall procedures), and vendor experience and references. Issuing bodies span elementary through high school districts, county and municipal school systems, Head Start programs, senior services divisions, and correctional facilities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California.

Recent representative opportunities show the pattern: Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty items due June 26, 2026; Bryan County School Nutrition (Georgia) solicited fresh produce via sealed bid for 2026-27 with a May 27, 2026 deadline; Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut) sought commercial groceries and produce across 13 sites under RFP 02641 for approximately $3.1 million in annual value; and McAllen Independent School District (Texas) requested fresh produce for 31 campuses under RFP 2026-1029. The GEC Buying Cooperative represents a scaled model—30 Georgia school districts procuring produce and eggs through Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 with estimated Area One spending of $4.4 million and Area Two of $1.1 million. Contracts typically run July through June on firm fixed-price terms with quarterly or six-month price redetermination tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index indices, require minimum insurance ($500,000 to $2 million general liability), mandate weekly delivery to multiple school sites, and permit award to single or multiple vendors. No peach-specific set-asides or vendor restrictions appear in these solicitations; participation is open to qualified distributors meeting insurance, compliance, and operational standards.
