UNSPSC 50325342: Dried red lady peaches

The variety of peaches known as red lady peaches that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325342 Dried red lady peaches is a Commodity code covering individual dried fruit products procured by state and local educational and correctional institutions for food service operations. State and local governments buy dried fruits under this code primarily as components of institutional meal programs — school nutrition centers, correctional facility kitchens, and other public cafeteria operations — where they are incorporated into menus alongside fresh produce, proteins, and prepared entrees. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state correctional and criminal justice agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state procurement divisions acting on behalf of multiple public agencies. The work involves sealed-bid procurement (IFB notice type) with firm fixed pricing covering delivery to designated institutional locations, compliance with Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content thresholds, USDA grade certifications, HACCP or food-safety protocols, and adherence to nutritional and portion-size specifications.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most detailed solicitations naming school districts and state correctional agencies. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (Hancock County Board of Education, IFB, sealed bids due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce across multiple categories delivered to three school sites through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport Commodities bid (IFB, due June 26, 2026) encompassing 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center with Net 45 payment terms and contract extension options; and Texas Department of Criminal Justice Cafeteria Food Products (IFB No. 304T-26-300CF, extended due date May 4, 2026) covering approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, beverages, and fresh produce for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas with contract terms through August 31, 2027 and two optional one-year renewals. Buy American compliance, insurance requirements ($500,000 to $1 million commercial general liability), USDA grade certifications, and vendor registration or certification are standard across all three jurisdictions.
