UNSPSC 50315457: Organic warden pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic warden pears

UNSPSC 50315457 Organic warden pears is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains sixteen recent school district opportunities soliciting fresh produce, but none request organic warden pears specifically. The opportunities instead solicit bananas (Madison Metropolitan School District, RFB 4162, response due July 29, 2026), mixed fresh fruits and vegetables (multiple Georgia school districts including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Liberty County, and Glynn County), specialty produce items for federal nutrition programs (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, with contract value estimated at $600,000 annually), and comprehensive fresh-produce assortments spanning apples, citrus, berries, root vegetables, and leafy greens across dozens of school nutrition contracts running through mid-2027. The only reference to pears appears in a single Georgia school district solicitation (Bulloch County IFP, response due May 4, 2026) that names pears as one of 24 produce items sought for a farm-to-school program with local-sourcing requirements (200-mile radius), but makes no specification regarding organic pears or the Warden variety.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity signals minimal market demand under this specific code designation. School districts across Georgia, Wisconsin, Texas, and Florida dominate recent activity, competing for fresh-produce supply contracts weighted heavily on price (40–50 points in typical evaluations), product quality and availability, delivery reliability, and compliance with Buy American provisions and USDA food safety standards. Geographic spread centers on Georgia school districts, with secondary activity in Texas and Wisconsin. The code shows no relevant recent opportunities; vendors pursuing school-nutrition fresh-produce contracts should monitor broader Commodity and Class codes spanning general fresh fruits and mixed-produce assortments rather than narrowly specified fruit varieties.
