UNSPSC 50305368: Sweet september peaches

The variety of peaches known as sweet september peaches

UNSPSC 50305368 Sweet September Peaches is a Commodity code representing a narrow product category within fresh produce procurement. State and local governments soliciting under this code buy fresh peaches for child nutrition programs, school meal services, and senior center operations—typically as line items within broader fresh fruit and vegetable contracts rather than as standalone, single-commodity buys. Recent activity shows peaches appearing as one item among dozens in multi-fruit procurements for school districts, Head Start agencies, and senior services, usually specified by variety, size, ripeness stage, and case pack configuration alongside apples, bananas, berries, and other stone fruits. The solicitations emphasize USDA compliance, HACCP documentation, food safety certifications, delivery temperature control, and domestic sourcing where cost-competitive.

Issuing bodies include school districts (elementary through high school nutrition programs), Head Start and child care operators, county school systems, transit and senior services, and cooperative buying groups representing multiple districts. School districts dominate the recent activity, with procurement offices in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California among the most active issuers. Recent representative opportunities include the Bulloch County Board of Education (IFB #043025) seeking comprehensive grocery items including fresh produce for 2026-2027 school year (May 4, 2026 response date), the GEC Buying Cooperative (SN 26-004) procuring fresh produce and eggs for 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending around $5.5 million (March 4, 2026 deadline), the City of Edinburg Texas requesting CACFP meal program supplies including fresh fruits and vegetables for approximately 400 children daily (RFP 2026-017, August 4, 2026 response date), and the Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP 26-039RFPDST) seeking specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at elementary schools in Tampa, Florida ($600,000 annual budget, March 11, 2026 deadline). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Oregon, and California. No recent standalone peach-only procurements appear in the dataset; peaches are consistently bundled with other produce in multi-line RFPs and IFBs where they compete on quality, ripeness stage compliance, and delivery reliability rather than as sole-source awards.
