UNSPSC 50345404: Frozen bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50345404 Frozen bartlett pears is a Commodity code covering a narrow product line that state and local governments buy primarily as one line item among broad grocery and food service supply contracts rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle. The recent opportunities record shows no solicitations specifically for frozen Bartlett pears; instead, the code appears incidentally within larger food service RFPs and IFBs that span hundreds of line items across proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and supplies. School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county departments issue the bulk of activity under codes in this family, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Georgia school boards appearing most frequently in the recent window. Work solicited includes grocery supply for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792), school nutrition programs serving breakfast and lunch (Bridgeport Board of Education BNB052266, Early County Schools PE55045, Hancock County Schools PE67080, Henry County Schools 20261001000317, Bulloch County Schools PE55612, Decatur City Schools PE77310, Rockwood School District CHILDNUTRITIONSERVICESGROCERYITEMS, Savannah-Chatham County Schools BID2634), and specialized federal programs such as the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (Hillsborough County 26039RFP) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (Head Start of Greater Dallas 26GP). Most are issued as IFBs with response dates ranging from late February through late July 2026.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Fulton County) and Texas (HHSC statewide, Head Start of Greater Dallas), with secondary activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood), California (Santa Clara County), Florida (Hillsborough County), Oregon (ODOC), and New Jersey (DHS Division of Family Development). The Texas HHSC opportunities (HHS0017660 due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792 historical) span statewide state facility supply with estimated annual values of $32,000 to $1.5 million per contract and maximum multi-year values up to $4.5 million. School district procurements typically run July-June fiscal years with response dates in April through June 2026, often as line-item bids requiring 90+ percent fill rates and firm fixed pricing. Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, nutrition standards alignment, and delivery to multiple school or facility sites are standard requirements. Vendors pursuing this code should treat frozen Bartlett pears as a fill item within broader food distributor or specialty produce relationships rather than as a standalone business line.
