UNSPSC 50305401: Abate fetel pears

The variety of pears known as abate fetel pears

UNSPSC 50305401 Abate fetel pears is a Commodity code representing a specific fresh produce item. State and local governments procuring under this code acquire fresh pears as part of broader food service programs serving students, children, seniors, and incarcerated populations. Recent activity shows limited direct procurement of fetel pears as a stand-alone line item; instead, pears appear as one produce category within comprehensive food service solicitations spanning multiple fruit and vegetable varieties. School districts, child nutrition programs, and correctional facilities are the primary issuing bodies, with procurement driven by National School Lunch Program compliance, Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) requirements, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program mandates. The code sits within a larger ecosystem of produce procurement where individual commodities are typically bundled with dozens of other fresh fruits and vegetables rather than purchased in isolation.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and Oregon school districts and county education systems, with secondary activity in California's correctional food services and municipal child care programs. Representative solicitations include the Bulloch County Board of Education's Invitation for Proposal for local produce (including pears grown within 200 miles) due May 4, 2026, Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid for 2026-27 covering multiple apple varieties and specialty items with pears listed, Liberty County Board of Education's produce procurement for 13 school sites, and the GEC Buying Cooperative's fresh produce and eggs RFP spanning 30 Georgia school districts with pears as one of approximately 72 line items. Pricing is typically submitted on a per-unit or per-pound basis with firm fixed pricing for initial contract periods, and awards often go to multiple vendors on a line-item basis. No opportunities isolated to fetel pears specifically appear in recent postings; activity is dominated by bundled produce contracts where this commodity competes within larger specifications alongside apples, bananas, citrus, berries, and vegetables.
