UNSPSC 50305459: Williams pears

The variety of pears known as williams pears

UNSPSC 50305459 Williams pears (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code identifies a single fresh fruit product, yet the recent solicitations tagged under this classification predominantly solicit broader fresh produce portfolios—apples, bananas, berries, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, oranges, potatoes, strawberries, tomatoes, and other staple items for school meal programs and child nutrition services—rather than Williams pears specifically. State and local food service procurement typically bundles produce into comprehensive line-item bids across dozens of fruits and vegetables, with Williams pears appearing as one optional item within larger fresh produce RFPs, IFBs, and RFQs rather than as a standalone commodity driver.

School districts and child nutrition authorities across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California issue the bulk of recent solicitations under this code tier. Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs at Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Central Point School District (Oregon), as well as cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts, and special-purpose entities such as Head Start of Greater Dallas and the City of San Antonio Department of Human Services. Recent representative opportunities include Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items (IFB, April 23, 2026 response date), Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items (ITB, April 27, 2026 response date), and the GEC Buying Cooperative's SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across two geographic areas serving 30 Georgia districts (RFP, March 4, 2026 response date). Buyers emphasize domestic sourcing under Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, weekly delivery capability to multiple school sites, firm fixed pricing for contract periods, and cost-plus models tied to USDA market reporting. Pursuit remains viable only if your firm can supply Williams pears as part of a larger institutional produce distribution contract; standalone Williams pear procurement is not a meaningful market signal at the state and local level.
