UNSPSC 50305447: Star crimson pears

The variety of pears known as star crimson pears

UNSPSC 50305447 Star crimson pears (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to this code. The most recent opportunities associated with UNSPSC 50305447 show no relevant solicitations for star crimson pears specifically. Instead, the recent contract notices under this code encompass school nutrition food service procurements spanning fresh produce, grocery items, beverages, and non-food supplies for child and adult care programs, school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and correctional facilities across multiple states.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts (Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin; Edinburg, McAllen, and Austin independent school districts in Texas; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida; multiple Georgia school districts including Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Savannah-Chatham, Glynn County, Bryan County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Henry County), city and county agencies (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut; City of San Antonio Department of Human Services in Texas; DeSoto County School District in Mississippi; County of Santa Clara in California), specialized nutrition programs (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hancock County Board of Education in Mississippi, Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Edinburg, Texas CACFP Meal Program (RFP 2026-017, due August 4, 2026) seeking beverages, paper goods, food products, janitorial supplies, and nonfood items for approximately 400 children daily; Madison Metropolitan School District's petite bananas procurement (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated contract value $78,000); Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (26039RFPDST, estimated annual budget $600,000 for specialty produce delivery to 18 elementary school sites); Meriden Public Schools RFP for commercial groceries and produce (RFP02641, estimated contract value approximately $3.1 million); and the GEC Buying Cooperative fresh produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, estimated annual spending approximately $5.5 million across two geographic areas).

The geographic spread of activity is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia, with substantial activity in Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, Connecticut, Mississippi, and California. School districts and school nutrition programs are the dominant issuing bodies, reflecting the code's primary use in child nutrition procurement. No mismatch exists between the nominal code name and the actual buying pattern — the code clearly captures fresh produce and food service items for institutional nutrition programs — but star crimson pears as a discrete commodity do not appear in any of the recent solicitations reviewed; instead, produce procurements name specific apple varieties (Gala, Fuji, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jazz, Ambrosia), bananas, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, and melons in detailed line-item specifications.
