UNSPSC 50305347: Rich lady peaches

The variety of peaches known as rich lady peaches

UNSPSC 50305347 Rich lady peaches is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service, as evidenced by recent state and local solicitations for fresh produce to support school nutrition programs, child care facilities, and correctional services. State and local governments currently buy this commodity primarily through school districts, county boards of education, city human services departments, and specialized agencies serving children and seniors, with fresh peaches appearing as line items within broader fresh produce requests alongside apples, berries, melons, and other seasonal fruit. Issuing bodies span Georgia school districts (Bulloch County, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, and others), Texas school districts and Head Start providers (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, Edinburg, and Head Start of Greater Dallas), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County), Connecticut school districts (Meriden), Oregon school districts (Central Point), and correctional and senior services in California and Texas. The mix reflects heavy concentration among K-12 school nutrition programs funded through the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with secondary activity from child care programs operating under CACFP and specialized institutional food service.

Recent activity clusters in the South and Southwest, with Georgia representing the single largest concentration of recent solicitations (at least 13 school districts posting produce bids between March and May 2026), followed by Texas (school districts, Head Start, and senior services), Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, berries, and root vegetables with bids due June 26, 2026; McAllen Independent School District (Texas) requesting proposals for fresh produce across 31 campuses with proposals due March 6, 2026 (extended by addendum); and the GEC Buying Cooperative (Douglas County School System, Georgia) issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas and proposals due March 4, 2026. Most solicitations employ sealed-bid or RFP structures with firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods (typically 12 months) and price redetermination clauses thereafter, emphasizing Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites or program locations.
