UNSPSC 50315449: Organic summer bartlett pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic summer bartlett pears

UNSPSC 50315449 Organic summer bartlett pears is a Commodity code that state and local school nutrition programs solicit under their fresh produce and school meal procurement, though the recent opportunities block shows no pear-specific solicitations—instead revealing that pear procurement is absorbed into broader fresh produce contracts that span dozens of fruit and vegetable line items. School districts are the primary issuing bodies under this code, acquiring fresh produce through competitive sealed-bid (IFB) and request-for-proposal (RFP) processes to support National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and federally funded USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program meal service. Recent pear-adjacent solicitations emphasize HACCP compliance, traceability by farm of origin, Buy American domestic sourcing preferences, delivery consistency (typically once weekly), and product quality standards such as minimum shelf life and temperature control during transport.

Recent procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative opportunities include Bulloch County School District (RFP issued April 3, 2026, due May 4, 2026) soliciting 24 locally grown produce items including pears within a 200-mile radius for its Farm to School program; Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026) procuring approximately 60 fresh produce line items weekly to 16 school locations; and Liberty County Board of Education (IFB due April 29, 2026) seeking comprehensive fresh produce for National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs across 13 schools. Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) represents the largest identified recent opportunity, bundling pear procurement alongside 71 other produce line items for 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million annually. No solicitations in the source are dedicated exclusively to organic summer bartlett pears; the code shows no meaningful independent procurement activity and is subsumed entirely within multi-line produce contracts where individual fruit varieties compete on cost and availability rather than being sought as standalone commodity items.
