UNSPSC 50345406: Frozen beth pears

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

UNSPSC 50345406 Frozen beth pears, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant solicitations; instead, the opportunities tagged under this code involve broad grocery procurement for schools, hospitals, and correctional facilities, spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, ice cream, dried fruits, and complete food-service supply contracts that are plainly unrelated to a single frozen-fruit commodity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests this code either sees minimal recent activity or is being misapplied in the tagging of these opportunities.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting food-service items—primarily school districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, Florida, and California; Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities; and county and municipal agencies—are buying comprehensive grocery bundles, fresh produce, ice cream, dried fruits and nuts, and food-supply contracts rather than frozen pears specifically. Opportunities from Hancock County Board of Education (IFB fresh produce, due June 26, 2026), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (IFB grocery items, due June 30, 2026), Early County Board of Education (IFB food and non-food products, due June 8, 2026), and Douglas County School System (RFP food supply and distribution, due February 18, 2026) represent the scale and scope of recent activity—all multi-hundred-line-item, annual-contract food procurements with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, and delivery to school sites or institutional kitchens. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables at state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017660 Big Spring State Hospital, due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 El Paso facility, due July 13, 2026). Geographic concentration appears in Georgia (school districts), Texas (state health institutions), and scattered municipal and county systems across California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida. Frozen beth pears as a single commodity do not surface in any recent solicitation reviewed.
