UNSPSC 50305458: Williams bon chretien pears

The variety of pears known as williams bon chretien pears

UNSPSC 50305458 Williams bon chretien pears is a Commodity code that addresses fresh pear supply, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows no direct solicitations for Williams bon chretien pears or pears of any variety. The code's narrow specificity—naming a single cultivar—sits at odds with the broad fresh-produce sourcing activity dominating state and local procurement in the sample period (May through October 2026). State agencies, county governments, school districts, and municipal departments are soliciting fresh produce under codes that span multiple fruit and vegetable categories, with individual produce items named only when procuring specialized or high-volume single-commodity contracts.

School districts, corrections departments, county boards of education, and municipal senior services divisions are the primary issuing bodies sourcing fresh produce during this period. Representative recent activity includes the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple RFQs for fresh fruit and vegetable supply and delivery to correctional facilities (Solicitation IW267376 due October 19, 2026, and IW267420 and IW267411 due October 14, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education requesting bids on fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, and citrus (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District requesting bids for petite bananas specifically (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026, estimated at $78,000 annually) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); and Bartow County School System seeking local fresh fruits and vegetables from within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Activity clusters in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Florida, with school-nutrition procurement and correctional-facility supply contracts representing the largest volume. The commodity code itself does not appear in any recent solicitation summary; pears appear only as line items within broader fresh-produce procurements that do not isolate pricing or award by cultivar.
