UNSPSC 50305452: Sunsprite pears

The variety of pears known as sunsprite pears

UNSPSC 50305452 Sunsprite pears is a Commodity code that identifies fresh whole pear varieties for direct institutional consumption. State and local governments procure Sunsprite pears as line items within broader fresh produce contracts supporting school nutrition programs, child and adult care food programs, and senior services. The code appears only intermittently in recent state and local solicitations—most recent produce procurement opportunities do not isolate Sunsprite pears as a named specification, instead grouping pears generically within comprehensive fresh fruit buys. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and food service authorities across multiple states, with secondary activity from municipal senior services divisions and child care agencies. When Sunsprite pears appear in scope, they are typically one among 50–100+ produce line items, not the focal commodity.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia school districts (Bryan County, Bulloch County, Dougherty County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Early County) and Texas school systems (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD, Hillsborough County), with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. The most recent produce-forward solicitation naming pear varieties is the Bulloch County School District RFP issued April 3, 2026 (due May 4, 2026) seeking fresh locally grown produce for the 2026–2027 fiscal year, which includes pears among 24 line items but does not isolate Sunsprite as a named cultivar. School district produce bids typically use ITB or RFP structures with annual terms (July 1 through June 30), weekly or twice-weekly delivery windows (early morning before noon), and cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm fixed-price models. Pursuit depends on vendor readiness to source Sunsprite-specific varieties at scale; most jurisdictions accept commodity-standard pear substitutions when identical cultivars are unavailable, placing Sunsprite positioning below generic pear demand in competitive priority.
