UNSPSC 50305361: Sugar lady peaches

The variety of peaches known as sugar lady peaches

UNSPSC 50305361 Sugar lady peaches (Commodity) encompasses fresh produce supply to state and local institutional food service operations, including correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, mental health facilities, and parks. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh produce — often as part of broader grocery or food service contracts — for meal programs serving incarcerated individuals, schoolchildren, seniors, and park visitors. The work spans weekly or bi-weekly delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables meeting USDA or state quality standards, with vendors assuming responsibility for product replacement if items arrive damaged or fail inspection. Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), county school districts across Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Wisconsin, city procurement offices (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and specialized service providers (Head Start programs, senior services divisions). Many jurisdictions impose Buy American or domestic-sourcing requirements, local-vendor preferences worth evaluation points or price discounts, prevailing-wage compliance in some states, and F.O.B. Destination pricing with no fuel surcharges permitted.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi, with recent solicitations spanning school nutrition programs, correctional food services, mental health facility dining, and community senior meal programs.
