UNSPSC 50315431: Organic olivier de serres pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic olivier de serres pears

UNSPSC 50315431 Organic olivier de serres pears is a Commodity code, but the recent solicitations under this code show limited direct relevance to organic pears specifically. The code nominally identifies a single specialty fruit product, yet state and local procurement activity tagged with this code predominantly solicits fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, vegetables, and mixed produce categories—rather than olivier de serres pears in particular. School nutrition programs and food service departments represent the primary buying base, issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for annual or multi-year produce supply contracts to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs serving elementary through high school students across multiple campuses. Contracts typically span July through June fiscal years, with weekly or twice-weekly delivery schedules to central warehouses or individual school sites, HACCP plan and food safety documentation requirements, Buy American compliance, and evaluation criteria emphasizing cost (30–50 points), product quality and availability (15–30 points), vendor qualifications and experience (10–20 points), and delivery reliability (10–20 points). Insurance minimums range from $500,000 to $2 million general liability depending on district size and contract value.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with significant procurement volume from Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Muscogee County School District, Bulloch County School District, Douglas County School System (via GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts across two areas), and out-of-state solicitations from Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Bartow County School System (Georgia). Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with weekly usage of 70–90 cases and annual contract value of $78,000; Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two), due March 4, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools' Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items covering 60 school sites, with estimated annual quantities reaching 21,125 cases for Fuji apples, due April 23, 2026. The code shows no identifiable recent solicitations explicitly for organic olivier de serres pears, suggesting the category may be misapplied or used infrequently in state and local procurement at present.
