UNSPSC 50315436: Organic perry pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic perry pears

UNSPSC 50315436 Organic perry pears is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little alignment with the code's stated scope. The opportunities posted since May 2026 focus predominantly on fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs — bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and other commodity fruits and vegetables — rather than organic perry pears specifically. School districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida are the primary issuing bodies, with recurring activity from Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and Douglas County School System, among others. These districts solicit fresh produce through RFPs, RFBs, and IFBs to support National School Lunch Programs, School Breakfast Programs, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs serving elementary through high school students.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Georgia, with multiple school districts (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County) posting solicitations between February and July 2026. Wisconsin and Texas districts (Madison Metropolitan, McAllen Independent, Austin Independent) also appear in the recent record, as does Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida. Representative recent opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026, with an estimated annual contract value of $78,000 and weekly deliveries of 70–90 cases to support school meal service, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items covering apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items for the 2026–27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Most school district solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, weekly delivery schedules, and competitive award on lowest responsive and responsible bidder basis; many include geographic preferences for locally sourced or domestic produce and set scoring weight on product quality and vendor experience alongside price. The code itself does not map clearly to the procurement activity it captures — the opportunities are general fresh produce buys, not perry pears or organic-specific products.
