UNSPSC 50315435: Organic passe crasanne pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic passe crasanne pears

UNSPSC 50315435 Organic passe crasanne pears is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent alignment with state and local school nutrition procurement. The code's nominal scope—organic passe crasanne pears, a specialty variety—does not match the bulk fresh produce solicitations now active in state and local markets. Recent school district RFPs and IFBs consistently specify broad commodity produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, citrus) in high volume, with only occasional mention of specialty or heirloom items. School nutrition programs award contracts on a line-item basis to maximize competition and sourcing flexibility, meaning vendors typically compete across dozens of produce categories rather than single specialty fruits. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—elementary through high school systems, some partnering through cooperative purchasing vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative—rather than other state or local agencies.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida. Recent Georgia solicitations span Liberty County, Glynn County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham, Bulloch County, and Douglas County school systems, with contract values ranging from single-district IFBs to cooperative procurements serving 30 districts across $4.4 million annual spending (Douglas County GEC, February 2026, RFP SN 26-004, proposals due March 4, 2026). Texas activity includes McAllen ISD (RFP 2026-1029, March 6, 2026 deadline) serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses and Austin ISD (RFP 26RFP034, March 11, 2026 deadline) seeking fresh produce and beverages districtwide. Florida shows activity through Hillsborough County Public Schools (RFP 26039RFQDST, March 11, 2026 deadline for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program delivery). Sourcing preferences across these jurisdictions favor domestic agricultural products, local or regional sourcing where practicable (within 50–400 miles), and organic produce when cost and quality are comparable, but no solicitation identified in the source names organic passe crasanne pears specifically or indicates meaningful demand for that single specialty item. The code appears inactive at operational procurement volume and should be monitored only if your firm holds unique distribution or sourcing relationships for this particular variety.
