UNSPSC 50305446: Sensation pears

The variety of pears known as sensation pears

UNSPSC 50305446 Sensation pears is a Commodity code. State and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect purchases of sensation pears as a distinct product line. Instead, the recent opportunities posted under this code span broad fresh produce procurement — fruits and vegetables supplied to correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, senior services, mental health centers, and other institutional food service operations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has posted multiple solicitations for fresh fruit and vegetable supply to food warehouses and individual facilities; Illinois corrections and mental health departments seek fresh produce on recurring small-purchase cycles; school districts across Georgia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Texas procure fresh fruits and vegetables as line items within larger meal-program contracts. These buyers typically specify individual produce items by variety, case size, ripeness stage, and delivery frequency rather than sourcing sensation pears by cultivar. The issuing bodies include state correctional and mental health agencies, county and city school districts, county boards of education, municipal parks departments, and Head Start programs — a mix weighted toward school nutrition and institutional feeding operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Bartow County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Dougherty County Schools, Bryan County Schools, early county schools, and unidentified state procurement), Texas (TDCJ multiple facilities, City of Edinburg, Head Start of Greater Dallas), and Illinois (Department of Corrections, Department of Mental Health), with additional opportunities from Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), Mississippi (DeSoto County Schools), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Florida (Collier County). Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for fresh fruit and vegetables to the Snyder Food Warehouse and Wynne Food Warehouse (due October 14, 2026); the Illinois Department of Corrections RFQ for fresh produce delivery to Joliet Treatment Center with bi-weekly delivery and small-business set-aside (due September 3, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks requiring Wisconsin sourcing within 400 miles and organic preference pricing (due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System RFP 10-2026-019 for local fresh fruits and vegetables from farms within 400 miles (due June 22, 2026). None of these solicitations names sensation pears as a specified item.
