UNSPSC 50345401: Frozen abate fetel pears

The variety of pears known as abate fetel pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345401 Frozen abate fetel pears (Commodity) does not see recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the specific product category named in the code.

The twenty-three most recent state and local opportunities posted under or near this code span grocery procurement for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, state hospitals, state supported living centers, correctional facilities, and Head Start child care—but they consistently request broad frozen-food categories, fresh produce assortments, dairy products, proteins, and packaged goods rather than frozen abate fetel pears specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two major IFBs (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital groceries posted July 13, 2026 with bids due July 27, and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center food posted June 11 with bids due July 13) covering 210+ line items each spanning proteins, prepared foods, pantry staples, and consumables, neither naming frozen pears as a line item. School districts in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida solicited fresh and frozen produce through RFPs and IFBs, but specifications emphasized apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty tropical fruits—not abate fetel pears. A single Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for frozen fruit berries (April 9, 2026, due April 23) sought IQF blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and Marion berries. A Santa Clara County detention facility procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) specified dried fruits including cranberries and tropical fruit mixes, not frozen pears. Across all twenty-three recent opportunities, no issuing body named frozen abate fetel pears, abate fetel varieties, or pears of any type as a requested commodity line. The code assignment appears taxonomically mismatched to the actual solicitations tagged beneath it, signaling either a data-entry error in the state and local procurement systems or a product category with no current demand signal in the visible marketplace.
