UNSPSC 50305424: Juno pears

The variety of pears known as juno pears

UNSPSC 50305424 Juno pears is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product category—a single variety of fresh pear—yet the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show almost no alignment with the nominal scope. The source contains 25 recent solicitations spanning school nutrition programs, senior services, child care food programs, and correctional facilities, but only one opportunity—Hancock County Board of Education's produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027)—mentions pears at all, and then only as one line item among 200+ produce varieties being procured. The remaining opportunities focus on fresh produce broadly (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), eggs, frozen and canned foods, beverages, and paper goods, with no specific demand signal for Juno pears as a distinct SKU. The code's tagging appears to reflect a database classification artifact rather than active procurement intent around this particular pear variety.

State and local issuing bodies using produce-related codes include school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Austin Independent School District, Central Point School District, and numerous Georgia county school systems), child care and Head Start organizations (City of Edinburg Texas, Head Start of Greater Dallas), county and municipal governments (Santa Clara County, City of San Antonio, DeSoto County School District, Meriden Public Schools), and cooperative purchasing consortia (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia districts). Recent opportunities posted between late January and mid-July 2026 concentrate in Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's IFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, $78,000 annual value, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, and vegetables (bid due June 26, 2026); and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages across multiple Austin locations (due March 11, 2026). Pursuit of this code as a pear-specific opportunity is not supported by current market activity.
