UNSPSC 50305357: Spring lady peaches

The variety of peaches known as spring lady peaches

UNSPSC 50305357 Spring lady peaches, a Commodity code, encompasses fresh peach supply to institutional food-service operations—correctional facilities, mental health centers, school districts, senior services, and child care programs. State and local governments are actively procuring peaches and other fresh produce as components of broader fruit and vegetable supply contracts, with recent opportunities showing mixed single-item and category-wide fruit buys from Texas prison food warehouses, Illinois corrections and mental health facilities, Wisconsin school districts, and Georgia school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections, state departments of mental health, county and municipal school districts, city senior services divisions, and regional health care coalitions—a mix skewed heavily toward institutional food service for populations in custody, care, or public assistance. Scope across the code includes weekly or bi-weekly deliveries of fresh, whole fruit meeting USDA quality and food-safety standards, with vendors typically bearing transportation costs and responsible for prompt replacement of damaged stock; some solicitations specify ripeness standards, temperature control at delivery, case pack configurations, and traceability documentation.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Wisconsin, where recent school-lunch, corrections, and mental-health procurement activity dominates. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice soliciting fresh fruit and vegetables for food warehouses at Palestine, Snyder, and Wynne (IW267376, IW267420, and IW267411, all RFPs or bids with October 2026 response dates); the Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small-business set-aside (27426DOCJOLIEB53849, RFQ, September 3, 2026 due date); the Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center seeking fresh fruits and vegetables weekly through June 30, 2027 (27444DHSMENTHB53608, small purchase, August 14, 2026 due date); and the Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids on petite bananas (RFB 4162, July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within Wisconsin (RFB 4163, July 29, 2026). School districts across Georgia—Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, and Bartow County—posted produce bids in May and June 2026 with contract terms running through June 2027. Activity in this code reflects sustained institutional demand for commodity fresh fruit tied to meal-program cycles and state fiscal years; responsiveness and compliance with food-safety documentation are baseline expectations.
