UNSPSC 50305426: Keiffer pears

The variety of pears known as keiffer pears

UNSPSC 50305426 Keiffer pears, a Commodity code, is not appearing in current state and local procurement activity. While the source block contains 25 recent opportunities spanning fresh produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and food service solicitations from state departments, school districts, county governments, and specialized agencies across Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and other jurisdictions, none specifically names Keiffer pears or any pear variety in their scope. The opportunities instead focus on broad fresh produce categories—apples (multiple varieties), bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, onions, oranges, potatoes, tomatoes, and other commodity vegetables and fruits—procured through RFPs, RFBs, ITNs, and small purchase processes for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, mental health facilities, senior centers, and child care programs.

The issuing bodies reflect typical state and local procurement patterns: Texas Department of Criminal Justice (multiple warehouse supply contracts), Illinois Department of Corrections and Department of Mental Health, school districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Bartow County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, DeSoto County, Early County), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and cities and counties including Collier County (Florida), San Antonio, Bridgeport (Connecticut), and Edinburg (Texas). Most contracts specify weekly or bi-weekly delivery, HACCP compliance, fresh quality standards, and domestic sourcing preferences under Buy American provisions. Pricing models vary from firm-fixed to cost-plus-fee arrangements, with contract terms typically running one school or fiscal year with renewal options. This code, by its specific commodity designation, does not currently map to active state and local buying.
