UNSPSC 50305436: Perry pears

The variety of pears known as perry pears

UNSPSC 50305436 Perry pears is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity in the sourced block does not represent procurement of perry pears; instead, the City of Edinburg, Texas, posted RFP 2026017 on July 16, 2026 (due August 4) for a Child and Adult Care Food Program meal service covering five supply categories—beverages, paper goods, food products (proteins, cheese, breads, fruits, vegetables, snacks), janitorial supplies, and nonfood products—serving approximately 400 children daily. While the scope names "fruits" and "vegetables" broadly, it does not specify perry pears or any other particular produce variety. No other recent solicitations in the block reference perry pears by name or by varietal specification. The code shows a misalignment between its nominal scope and actual recent state and local procurement activity.

The sourced opportunities instead reflect active school district, food service, and child nutrition program procurement of fresh produce more broadly—including apples, bananas, lettuce, carrots, broccoli, citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, and specialty items across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Wisconsin, Florida, Oregon, Mississippi, and California. Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin) solicited petite bananas under RFB 4162 (due July 29), and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham County, Bulloch County, and others) issued sealed-bid and RFP procurements for fresh produce bundles spanning dozens of line items. These opportunities reflect school nutrition, CACFP meal service, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program funding. Perry pears do not appear in any of the representative recent solicitations, and the code does not support meaningful opportunity assessment for this specific variety at this time.
