UNSPSC 50315422: Organic italian butter pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic italian butter pears

UNSPSC 50315422 Organic italian butter pears (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity tracked in recent notices. The code nominally describes a single fresh produce item — organic Italian butter pears — yet the recent solicitation records show school districts and state agencies across Georgia and Texas soliciting bids and proposals for broad fresh produce portfolios, typically spanning 60 to 200+ line items per contract. Madison Metropolitan School District issued separate RFBs for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks in July 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 produce line items including apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits under an IFB posted in June 2026; and Bartow County School System, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Glynn County Board of Education all posted RFPs and IFBs for fresh produce portfolios ranging from 60 to 72 line items between March and May 2026. A state of Georgia procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products was also posted in May 2026. Douglas County School System coordinated a cooperative buying vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative) for 30 school districts across two geographic areas with an estimated annual spend of $5.5 million combined for fresh produce and eggs.

The mismatch between the Commodity code and actual procurement is stark: no recent state or local opportunity explicitly names organic Italian butter pears as a line item or primary scope. School nutrition programs are acquiring produce in volume through commodity-level or portfolio contracts that treat individual fruits and vegetables as interchangeable line items evaluated on price, quality, and delivery performance rather than on a single specialized product. If organic Italian butter pears appear in any of these solicitations, they are embedded in broader fresh fruit category specifications, not procured as a standalone item driving opportunity volume or vendor selection. Business development professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for state and local procurement purposes and focus upstream on the Family or Class codes covering institutional fresh produce supply, where the bulk of school nutrition procurement occurs.
