UNSPSC 50305449: Summer bartlett pears

The variety of pears known as summer bartlett pears

UNSPSC 50305449 Summer bartlett pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line, but state and local procurement activity under this code is sparse and fragmented across unrelated food-service categories. The code's nominal scope — summer bartlett pears as a discrete produce item — does not align with the pattern of recent solicitations, which cluster around broad fresh-produce procurement for institutional food service (schools, correctional facilities, senior centers, mental health facilities, child care programs) rather than pear-specific buys. When pears appear in recent solicitations at all, they are listed as one line item among dozens in comprehensive fresh-produce RFQs or RFBs. No recent opportunity explicitly targets summer bartlett pears as a standalone contract vehicle.

State and local procurement activity tagged under this code spans school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Bryan County, Dougherty County, Hancock County, Early County school systems in Georgia and Wisconsin), state departments of corrections (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state mental-health agencies (Illinois Department of Mental Health), county governments (Collier County, DeSoto County, Bartow County), cities (San Antonio, Bridgeport, Edinburg), child care networks (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and independent districts (Marion Health Care Coalition). Texas and Georgia dominate recent activity, with secondary volume in Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable solicitations for Palestine and Wynne food warehouses (both October 2026, RFQ), Madison Metropolitan School District's petite-banana bid (July 2026, RFB, $78,000 estimated annual value), and Hancock County Board of Education's comprehensive fresh-produce RFB for the 2026-27 school year (June 2026, 200+ line items spanning multiple produce varieties). Buy American and domestic-sourcing requirements appear in many school-district and state-agency solicitations; local-vendor preferences and diverse-business evaluation criteria are common in municipal and county food-service procurements.
