UNSPSC 50315446: Organic sensation pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic sensation pears

UNSPSC 50315446 Organic sensation pears is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it involve fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs across multiple states — principally bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, and eggs delivered to elementary and secondary schools rather than the specialty pear varieties the code nominally names. School districts are the dominant issuing body, with activity concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida, where districts solicit annual supply contracts through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notice types to support National School Lunch Program and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program requirements.

Recent representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, delivery to a single Food Production Center, $78,000 estimated annual value, due July 29, 2026) and an RFP from Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Florida for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program ($600,000 estimated annual budget, cost-plus fixed-fee-per-case structure, approximately 18 elementary school sites, due March 11, 2026). Additional activity spans Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP covering 30 districts across Georgia (estimated $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two, due March 4, 2026); McAllen Independent School District in Texas for fresh produce serving 20,000 students across 31 campuses (RFP 2026-1029, due March 6, 2026); and Austin Independent School District for fresh produce and beverages (RFP 26RFP034, due March 11, 2026). Georgia school districts account for the plurality of recent solicitations, followed by Texas school districts. Buy American provisions, HACCP plan requirements, and minimum liability insurance thresholds ($500,000 to $2,000,000) are standard across opportunities. Award is typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item basis, with vendors often permitted to piggyback across multiple school districts on identical terms.
