UNSPSC 50305353: Sierra gem peaches

The variety of peaches known as sierra gem peaches

UNSPSC 50305353 Sierra gem peaches, a Commodity code, captures fresh produce supply to state and local institutions, including correctional facilities, school districts, senior services, mental health centers, and regional parks. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables — often in combination with other produce or as stand-alone contracts — for meal programs, food services, and institutional dietary operations. The code's scope extends across institutional foodservice procurement where fresh produce is sourced, delivered, and integrated into meal planning for captive populations or public programs. Issuing bodies span Texas Department of Criminal Justice facilities, Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, multiple Georgia and Mississippi school districts, county school nutrition programs, city senior services divisions, regional health coalitions, and county parks operations. School nutrition programs represent the largest segment of recent activity, with numerous districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Early County, and Bartow County in Georgia; Bridgeport in Connecticut) soliciting fresh produce under National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program requirements.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast — Georgia in particular dominates with multiple school districts posting produce bids between April and June 2026 — alongside significant procurement in Texas (TDCJ multi-facility distribution), Illinois (correctional and mental health centers), Mississippi (school district), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice requesting fresh fruit and vegetables for the Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (due October 14, 2026; IW267420 and IW267411); the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with a small business set-aside (due September 3, 2026; 27426DOCJOLIEB53849); Madison Metropolitan School District issuing requests for bids on petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026; RFB 4162 and 4163); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia requesting sealed bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (due June 26, 2026; IFB SN002-2027); and multiple other school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, and Connecticut posting produce solicitations between May and June 2026. Buy American provisions, prevailing wage compliance, HACCP plans, liability insurance requirements of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and compliance with federal food safety standards are standard contract conditions across jurisdictions.
