UNSPSC 50315443: Organic ruby red pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic ruby red pears

UNSPSC 50315443 Organic ruby red pears (Commodity) shows minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. Recent opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce in bulk — bananas, mixed fruits and vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive produce portfolios for school nutrition programs — rather than the specific commodity of organic ruby red pears. The code appears to capture a narrowly defined produce item that does not match the broad purchasing patterns evident in posted solicitations.

School districts across Georgia and Texas dominate the issuing-body mix, with Glynn County Board of Education, Hancock County Schools, Madison Metropolitan School District, Muscogee County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, McAllen Independent School District, and Austin Independent School District posting RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for fresh-produce contracts between February and July 2026. A state-level solicitation from Georgia (PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026) also appears tagged under the code but provides no detailed scope. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary representation from Wisconsin. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026) at an estimated annual value of $78,000 and an RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (due July 29, 2026) sourced within Wisconsin; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and melons (bids due June 26, 2026); and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two geographic areas in Georgia (proposal due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. The mismatch between this code's nominal scope (organic ruby red pears as a single Commodity) and the actual procurement pattern (bulk fresh-produce portfolios across multiple categories) suggests either a data-tagging error or a code that poorly represents current state and local buying activity in fresh produce.
