UNSPSC 50305368: Sweet september peaches

The variety of peaches known as sweet september peaches

UNSPSC 50305368 Sweet september peaches is a Commodity code tracking fresh produce procurement by state and local governments, specifically fresh fruits delivered to institutional food service operations including correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and regional park concessions. State and local agencies use this code to source fresh peaches and similar produce for meal programs serving incarcerated individuals, students, seniors, and park visitors. The issuing bodies span Texas Department of Criminal Justice food warehouses, county school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Early County, Bartow County, DeSoto County), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, Florida county parks departments, Texas cities (Edinburg, San Antonio), Connecticut school boards, and Head Start organizations. These buyers frequently combine peach procurement with broader fresh produce contracts that bundle apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, and specialty items, often tied to USDA Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) compliance or National School Lunch Program standards. Contracts typically require F.O.B. Destination pricing with vendor-borne transportation, HACCP plans, food-safety compliance documentation, minimum fill rates (95–98 percent), and commercial liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per occurrence.

Recent activity under this code concentrates in Texas and Georgia school districts and state agencies, with secondary activity in Illinois, Florida, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted multiple fresh produce solicitations (IW267376 for Palestine facility, IW267420 for Snyder Food Warehouse, IW267411 for Wynne Food Warehouse) with October 2026 response deadlines, all managed through the TDCJ Procurement Portal and handled by Marie-Ange Jackson. Georgia school districts dominate the calendar: Hancock County Schools (due June 26, 2026 for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 supply), Dougherty County Board of Education (due June 16, 2026), Bartow County (local-sourced produce within 400 miles, proposal due June 22, 2026), Bryan County (due May 27, 2026), and Early County (due June 8, 2026) all sought sealed bids for annual fresh-produce contracts. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) issued RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 estimated value, due July 29, 2026) and RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (5,900 weekly servings within 400 miles of Madison, due July 29, 2026, Wisconsin-sourced preference). Illinois Department of Mental Health's Madden Mental Health Center sought fresh fruits and vegetables for FY2027 (due August 14, 2026). Most school and correctional contracts run one fiscal year with optional renewal periods (typically two to four one-year extensions), and awards frequently go to lowest responsive and responsible bidders with allowances for single or multiple vendor awards.
