UNSPSC 50315404: Organic bartlett pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic bartlett pears

UNSPSC 50315404 Organic bartlett pears, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and mixed fresh produce for school nutrition programs—not organic bartlett pears specifically. Madison Metropolitan School District posted an RFB on July 8, 2026, for petite bananas with a July 29, 2026 response date and estimated annual value of $78,000, and a second RFB the same day for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks with a July 29 deadline; neither explicitly targets bartlett pears. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation content suggests the code may be misapplied in these school district postings, or that organic bartlett pears are a niche subcategory within broader fresh produce buys that are tagged more generically.

The opportunities that do appear under this code reveal a school district focus across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida, with issuing bodies limited to county and independent school districts procuring produce for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs, and farm-to-school initiatives. Douglas County School System issued an RFP on February 4, 2026, through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, and Glynn County Board of Education posted an IFB on March 16, 2026, for fresh produce with an April 14 deadline. The code does not show standalone bartlett pear solicitations; pursuit should focus on mixed fresh fruit and vegetable buys where bartlett pears may compete as a line item within larger school nutrition contracts.
