UNSPSC 50345400: Frozen pears

A fleshy pome fruit that is borne by a tree (genus pyrus, especially p. Communis) of the rose family and is usually larger at the apical end and has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345400 Frozen pears, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The opportunities in the dataset are predominantly school nutrition program solicitations spanning frozen foods, fresh produce, groceries, and food service supplies—categories that extend well beyond a single commodity. The code's nominal scope—frozen pears—appears disconnected from what school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county systems are actually buying, which is broad food service portfolios covering proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, beverages, and packaging materials.

The issuing bodies are primarily school nutrition authorities (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Decatur City Schools, Early County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System, and Hillsborough County Public Schools), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), and municipal entities (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, County of Santa Clara). Opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and New Jersey, with the densest recent activity in Georgia school districts. Recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas's June 2026 IFB 26-GP for frozen foods and produce covering approximately 32,409 cases for child care programs (sealed bids due June 24, 2026). The code shows substantial activity but little evidence that vendors specializing in frozen pears alone would succeed in these broad-scope, multi-line food service procurements.
