UNSPSC 50345407: Frozen beurre pears

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

UNSPSC 50345407 Frozen beurre pears is a Commodity code that frames a narrow product line within state and local food procurement. However, the recent opportunities tagged to this code show little to no alignment with frozen beurre pears specifically. The opportunities span institutional food service for state hospitals, supported living centers, school districts, senior services, county parks, and child care programs — all purchasing broad food baskets (proteins, produce, dairy, pantry staples, and prepared items) rather than specialized frozen fruit products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual solicitation content suggests either misclassification by the issuing bodies or that frozen beurre pears occupy a negligible portion of state and local food procurement activity under this commodity designation.

State and local procurement under this code originates from diverse issuing bodies: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) appears most frequently, issuing multiple IFBs for institutional food supply contracts; school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, and New Jersey also post regularly; county boards of education and departments of human services contribute additional volume. Recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's frozen food products procurement (HHS0017338, estimated annual volume approximately $9 million), Gwinnett County's purchase of 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid spanning over 200 line items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas' grocery procurement for approximately 32,409 cases (26-GP, due June 24, 2026). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with additional activity in New Jersey, Oregon, and Florida. Most contracts run annual cycles (typically July to June or September to August), with firm fixed pricing and delivery requirements structured around institutional meal service calendars. No recent solicitations mention frozen beurre pears as a line item or specification.
