UNSPSC 50345402: Frozen anjou pears

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

UNSPSC 50345402 Frozen anjou pears (Commodity) covers fresh and frozen produce that state and local governments procure for institutional food service, school nutrition programs, and corrections facilities. Recent solicitations show this code tagged to broad grocery and food service procurements spanning frozen and fresh fruit categories, though the majority of activity centers on comprehensive food supply contracts rather than single-commodity fruit purchases. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county corrections systems are the primary issuing bodies, with state facilities in Texas, Georgia, and California driving recent volume. The work includes delivery of produce to central warehouses and multiple school sites, compliance with USDA food safety and Buy American standards, temperature-controlled logistics, and integration with electronic ordering systems such as LINQ and Bonfire.

Recent opportunities illustrate the scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's July 2026 IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026) spans 110 line items including frozen and fresh produce across multiple cases per item with firm fixed unit pricing and a $32,226 prior-year baseline; the Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) specifies over 200 line items of apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus, and specialty fruit across three school delivery locations with a one-year contract period; and the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (due June 24, 2026) seeks primary, secondary, and tertiary suppliers of approximately 32,409 cases of frozen and fresh produce for child care under CACFP requirements with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94. Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Bulloch County, Early County, Henry County, and Fulton County) and Texas state facilities dominate the recent pipeline. Geographic concentration spans Texas, Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service as the primary use cases.
