UNSPSC 50305347: Rich lady peaches

The variety of peaches known as rich lady peaches

UNSPSC 50305347 Rich lady peaches is a Commodity code that describes fresh peach supply and delivery to institutional food-service operations, including correctional facilities, schools, mental-health centers, senior centers, and child-care programs. State and local buyers procure fresh peaches primarily through broader fresh-produce solicitations that bundle multiple fruit and vegetable line items for school nutrition programs, food-service operations at correctional and mental-health facilities, and community nutrition initiatives. The solicitations typically require compliance with USDA quality standards, food-safety regulations, and delivery schedules; many include Buy American provisions mandating domestic sourcing or minimum domestic-content thresholds. Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and mental health, school districts, county boards of education, municipalities, and specialized food-service authorities. Recent opportunities show a mix of invitation-for-bid (IFB), request-for-proposal (RFP), and request-for-quotation (RFQ) structures, with small-business set-asides appearing in some Illinois and Texas procurements and local-vendor preferences in Wisconsin and Georgia school districts.

Recent activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Florida, and Mississippi. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple fresh-produce solicitations in September and October 2026—including IW267376 (fresh fruit and vegetables for Palestine facility, due October 19, 2026), IW267420 (Snyder Food Warehouse, due October 14, 2026), and IW267411 (Wynne Food Warehouse in Huntsville, due October 14, 2026)—all via the TDCJ Procurement Portal. Georgia school districts dominate recent bids: DeSoto County School District (RFB due June 22, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education (bids due June 26, 2026), Dougherty County Board of Education (sealed bids due June 16, 2026), Bartow County School System (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026), and Bryan County Schools (sealed bid due May 27, 2026) all sought fresh produce including peaches. Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin issued RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) with a 400-mile Wisconsin-source requirement and organic-produce pricing preference. The Illinois Department of Mental Health (Madden Mental Health Center, RFQ 27444DHSMENTHB53608, due August 14, 2026) and the Illinois Department of Corrections (Joliet Treatment Center, RFQ 27426DOCJOLIEB53849, due September 3, 2026) sought fresh produce with small-business set-asides. School districts emphasize cost competitiveness, service reliability (often 97–98 percent fill rates), compliance with National School Lunch Program and CACFP regulations, and traceability documentation; correctional and mental-health facilities prioritize weekly or bi-weekly delivery schedules and strict quality standards for institutional dining.
