UNSPSC 50305441: Rosy red pears

The variety of pears known as rosy red pears

UNSPSC 50305441 Rosy red pears (Commodity) represents a narrow produce category within state and local school nutrition procurement that sees minimal recent activity under this specific code. State and local governments buying rosy red pears do so primarily through broader fresh-produce or grocery-item solicitations that bundle dozens of produce line items, rather than through single-commodity procurements. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school nutrition programs, along with occasional county governments and special-purpose child nutrition agencies, all procuring for federally funded meal programs including the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, Child and Adult Care Food Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program.

The recent opportunities block contains no standalone solicitations for rosy red pears. Of the twenty-seven recent state and local procurements captured, nearly all solicit fresh produce as one component of multi-item food service contracts spanning apples, bananas, berries, citrus fruits, root vegetables, leafy greens, and other items in standardized case quantities. School districts across Georgia (including Hancock County, Dougherty County, Bryan County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, and Savannah-Chatham County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Oregon (Central Point School District #6), and Mississippi (DeSoto County) issued sealed bids and RFPs for fresh produce during the March through July 2026 window, typically with response dates in the 30- to 60-day range. The City of Bridgeport and Head Start of Greater Dallas also solicited broad grocery-and-produce packages with fresh fruits and vegetables embedded. None of these opportunities identify rosy red pears as a line item; pears appear in only two specifications (Bulloch County's farm-to-school RFP and Hancock County's produce list). Pursuit of rosy red pears through this code is inadvisable absent a district-specific RFQ or a vendor seat on a cooperative purchasing vehicle (such as GEC Buying Cooperative, which serves 30+ Georgia school districts) where the district has already approved pears as an acceptable item.
