UNSPSC 50305430: Mountain bartlett pears

The variety of pears known as mountain bartlett pears

UNSPSC 50305430 Mountain bartlett pears is a Commodity code encompassing fresh produce supply to institutional and public food service operations. State and local governments procure fresh pears—typically as part of broader fresh fruit and vegetable contracts for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, mental health centers, senior services, and child care operations. The code appears in mixed-category solicitations where pears are one line item among dozens of produce varieties rather than standalone single-commodity buys.

Issuing bodies span school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bartow County, Early County, Hancock County in Georgia and Wisconsin), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Department of Corrections and Mental Health), county boards of education, cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), correctional and mental health facilities, and special-purpose entities (Head Start, Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas DOC and Illinois state agencies appear multiple times in recent activity. Geographic concentration in the recent-opportunities block is heaviest in Georgia (Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Bartow County), Texas (TDCJ multiple solicitations, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas), Illinois (DMH Madden Mental Health Center, Illinois DOC Joliet), and Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh fruit and vegetable supply to the Palestine and Wynne food warehouses (solicitations IW267376 and IW267411, due October 19 and October 14, 2026 respectively); Bryan County School Nutrition's sealed bid for fresh produce including multiple case quantities of pears and related items (due May 27, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport's 1,100-line grocery procurement for school lunch (due June 30, 2026), which encompasses fresh fruit alongside over 1,000 other food service items. Bartlett pears do not appear explicitly named in the available summaries, but the code's commodity scope sits within these institutional food service procurement patterns where pear varieties are typically quoted alongside apples, bananas, berries, and other fresh fruit at per-unit or per-case pricing under annual contracts with delivery to central warehouses or multiple school and facility sites.
