UNSPSC 50345403: Frozen asian pears

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

UNSPSC 50345403 Frozen asian pears is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not appear to be procuring frozen asian pears specifically under this code based on recent solicitation activity. The opportunities tagged to this code span general grocery procurement for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, state hospital and supported living center meal services, and corrections facilities—but they overwhelmingly feature broad-basket food solicitations covering hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared foods rather than single specialty produce items. When frozen fruit appears in these records, it is either as one line item among thousands (such as frozen berries or mixed vegetables bundled into 200+ line-item school nutrition contracts) or explicitly named in separate, narrower solicitations targeting frozen fruit berries or frozen vegetables as standalone commodities.

The issuing bodies soliciting under grocery-adjacent codes include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC, Georgia state agencies), county school boards (Hancock County Georgia, Bulloch County Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Georgia, Douglas County Georgia, Henry County Georgia, Fulton County Georgia, Early County Georgia), city school districts (Bridgeport Connecticut, Decatur Georgia), county corrections and sheriff's offices (Santa Clara County California), and specialized child-nutrition organizations (Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program, Rockwood R-VI School District Missouri). The geographic spread is predominantly the South and Midwest—Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Florida, and California—with multiple repeat buyers in Georgia school districts. The code shows no recent activity distinctly aligned to frozen asian pears as a procurement category; the Commodity appears to be either obsolete for state and local procurement or so specialized that it does not surface in current public solicitation records.
