UNSPSC 50305367: Sweet dream peaches

The variety of peaches known as sweet dream peaches

UNSPSC 50305367 Sweet dream peaches is a Commodity code representing fresh fruit procurement for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and correctional and healthcare facilities. State and local governments buy peaches and other fresh produce under this code primarily to supply child nutrition programs (CACFP and NSLP), senior services, and institutional dining operations at correctional facilities, mental health centers, and regional parks. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Mental Health), school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Early County, DeSoto County, Bartow County boards of education), counties (Collier County), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), and regional health organizations. Scope typically specifies ripeness standards, case sizes, delivery frequencies (bi-weekly or weekly), temperature requirements, and compliance with USDA grading standards, food safety certifications (HACCP), and Buy American provisions where applicable. Contracts frequently include minimum fill rates (95–98 percent), traceability documentation, and replacement guarantees for damaged or rotten product at no cost to the institution.

The code shows sustained activity across Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida through October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice seeking fresh fruit and vegetables for its Palestine facility and Snyder and Wynne food warehouses (responses due October 14–19, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks under RFB 4162 and 4163 (bids due July 29, 2026, with estimated annual value of $78,000 for bananas alone); Collier County Board of County Commissioners issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a 10-point local-vendor preference (proposals due March 6, 2025); Illinois Department of Corrections requesting fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center under a small business set-aside (quotes due September 3, 2026); and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County) issuing sealed bids or RFPs for fresh produce contracts running July 2026 through June 2027. Evaluation criteria commonly weight cost (30–40 percent), vendor qualifications and experience (15–25 percent), menu variety and product quality (20–35 percent), and compliance with food safety and local-sourcing preferences (5–20 percent). Insurance requirements typically range from $500,000 to $1 million general liability. The code remains active for pursuit, with multiple contracts awarded annually across institution types and regions.
