UNSPSC 50305356: Snow king peaches

The variety of peaches known as snow king peaches

UNSPSC 50305356 Snow king peaches is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure fresh produce — primarily fruits and vegetables — for institutional food service operations including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior centers, child care programs, and parks and recreation concessions. Recent solicitations reveal that buyers source fresh produce either as standalone line items within broader food-service RFPs or as dedicated fresh-produce contracts. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health, and multiple school districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas have posted solicitations covering fresh fruits and vegetables within the past four months. The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments, county school districts, municipal school systems, regional health coalitions, and specialized facilities. School districts represent the largest and most frequent buyer segment, driven by USDA National School Lunch Program and Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) meal requirements. Institutional buyers—correctional departments, mental health centers, senior service divisions—account for secondary but consistent demand.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and Texas, with Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bartow County, Bryan County, Early County, DeSoto County), Texas agencies (TDCJ, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and Illinois state departments (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health) showing the most recent activity. Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), and Mississippi (DeSoto County) round out the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetable supply to its Snyder Food Warehouse and Wynne Food Warehouse in separate RFQs posted September 30, 2026 with October 14, 2026 response deadlines; the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting bi-weekly fresh-produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside RFQ posted August 27, 2026 with response due September 3, 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District issuing RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks posted July 8, 2026 with July 29, 2026 deadlines, including a $78,000 estimated contract value for bananas; and Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) soliciting fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year via IFB posted June 10, 2026 with June 26, 2026 response deadline. Contracts typically run July-through-June school or fiscal-year cycles, carry prevailing-wage and Buy American compliance obligations, require HACCP plans and food-safety certifications, and mandate vendor insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability. Activity remains active through mid-October 2026.
