UNSPSC 50315433: Organic packham's triumph pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic packham's triumph pears

UNSPSC 50315433 Organic packham's triumph pears is a Commodity code that covers fresh specialty fruit procurement by state and local school districts, primarily through school nutrition programs. State and local governments buy fresh produce—apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty items including pears—under this and related codes to support the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at elementary and secondary schools. Recent opportunities show school districts and school systems issuing RFBs, RFPs, and IFBs for fresh produce ranging from single-commodity contracts (such as petite bananas) to comprehensive multi-item produce buys spanning 60–200+ line items delivered weekly to dozens of school sites. Issuing bodies are predominantly independent school districts and county school boards across the South and Southwest, with some activity in upper-Midwest districts; no state-level central procurement offices appear in the recent block, indicating direct school-district purchasing of fresh produce.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, which accounts for the plurality of recent opportunities (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Glynn County, and Douglas County school systems all posted solicitations between February and July 2026), with secondary activity in Texas (Austin ISD and McAllen ISD), Wisconsin (Madison Metropolitan School District), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools). Representative recent procurements include Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4162 for petite bananas with bids due July 29, 2026, an estimated annual contract value of $78,000, and weekly delivery requirements; Hancock County Board of Education IFB for over 200 produce line items with a July 1, 2026 contract start; Bulloch County School District RFP for 24 locally-grown produce items with awards anticipated May 8, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 72 produce line items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One, proposals due March 4, 2026. Most contracts run July through June to align with the school year, require weekly deliveries early morning hours (typically 5:00–7:30 a.m.), mandate HACCP plans and traceability documentation, enforce Buy American provisions, and favor local or domestic sourcing where cost and quality permit.
