UNSPSC 50315448: Organic stark crimson pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic stark crimson pears

UNSPSC 50315448 Organic stark crimson pears is a Commodity code that bears little relevance to the recent state and local solicitations tagged under it. The code nominally specifies a single fruit commodity—organic red pears—yet the opportunities in the dataset focus on broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, spanning dozens of fruit and vegetable line items, eggs, and beverages, with no emphasis on organic designation or pear supply. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the source database or that the code has been applied as a catch-all for general produce categories that do not map cleanly to its narrow definition.

Recent activity shows school districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Texas, and Florida issuing RFPs, RFQs, and IFBs for annual fresh produce contracts supporting National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, child nutrition services, and USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Programs. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across multiple fruit and vegetable categories (due June 26, 2026), Bulloch County School District's RFP for locally-grown produce within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), and Hillsborough County Public Schools' RFP for specialty fruits and vegetables under the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (due March 11, 2026). Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education in Georgia, with additional activity in Texas (Austin ISD, McAllen ISD) and Florida (Hillsborough County). Contract values range from approximately $78,000 annually (Madison Metropolitan) to $4.4 million (Douglas County School System cooperative for Area One); most contracts run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. Bidders face Buy American requirements, HACCP plans, food safety certifications, liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and adherence to domestic agricultural commodity percentages of 51% or higher in processed products. The code shows no meaningful recent procurement activity specific to organic pears; pursue only if your firm supplies broader institutional fresh produce contracts and can absorb the categorization misalignment in your due-diligence process.
