UNSPSC 50305363: Sunhigh peaches

The variety of peaches known as sunhigh peaches

UNSPSC 50305363 Sunhigh peaches is a Commodity code representing a single fresh fruit product line that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition, child care, and senior services food programs. Rather than standing alone, sunhigh peaches appear in composite produce solicitations issued by school districts, child care agencies, and municipal departments that acquire fresh fruits and vegetables in bulk for meal service. The actual buying activity reflects institutional food procurement patterns: school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs (CACFP), senior meal services, and similar public nutrition operations source peaches alongside dozens of other produce items through competitive bid and proposal processes, typically requiring weekly or bi-weekly delivery, compliance with USDA nutrition standards, HACCP food safety plans, and firm fixed pricing for contract periods running one to three years.

State and local issuing bodies conducting fresh produce procurement span school districts (ranging from single-district RFPs to multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts), municipal departments (cities of Edinburg, Bridgeport, San Antonio, Meriden), county boards of education, special-purpose agencies (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and independent school districts serving between 8,200 and 20,000 students. Representative recent solicitations show consistent patterns: the City of Edinburg, Texas issued RFP 2026-017 in July 2026 for CACFP meal service food and supplies including fresh fruits with local-vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida solicited RFP 26039RFPDST in February 2026 for specialty fresh fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at approximately eighteen elementary schools with a $600,000 annual budget; Bulloch County School District in Georgia issued an Invitation for Proposal in April 2026 for locally-grown produce including fresh fruits within 200 miles of the district; and the GEC Buying Cooperative released RFP SN 26-004 through Douglas County School System in February 2026 spanning approximately 72 produce line items across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending exceeding $5 million. Procurement activity concentrates in Georgia (Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Dougherty County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Henry County, Bulloch County, and Bryan County school systems), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD, City of Edinburg), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Oregon (Central Point School District), with additional activity in Mississippi, California, and other states. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recurring procurement from Georgia cooperative purchasing arrangements and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program initiatives driving seasonal and ongoing demand for fresh fruit varieties including peaches where regional sourcing or seasonal availability supports competition.
