UNSPSC 50345409: Frozen clapp favorite pears

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

UNSPSC 50345409 Frozen clapp favorite pears (Commodity) shows minimal relevance to state and local procurement activity; the code's narrow product specificity does not align with the recent solicitations indexed under it, which span comprehensive food service procurement across dozens of product categories rather than single specialty items. The source records reflect a systematic mismatch: issuing bodies are soliciting broad grocery, frozen-food, and produce packages under food-service codes, not procurement of a named pear variety. State and local food service procurement—driven primarily by school districts, corrections facilities, and state health and human services agencies—buys commodity ingredients and prepared foods in bulk quantities as components of comprehensive nutrition programs, not discrete branded or varietal produce items.

The recent-opportunities block records activity from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state institutional food service for hospitals and supported living centers), multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County system, Henry County, Fulton County, Douglas County through cooperative purchasing), Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, City of Decatur Georgia schools, Oregon Department of Corrections, and Santa Clara County California sheriff's food services—all issuing IFBs and RFPs for multi-line-item food procurement spanning proteins, produce, dairy, prepared foods, and supplies. The geographic footprint spans Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Missouri, Oregon, and California. The code appears to have been applied to these opportunities as a catch-all categorization within a broader food-service taxonomy rather than as an accurate descriptor of frozen-pear procurement. No recent solicitations explicitly name frozen Clapp pears or target this item as a primary procurement object. Business development activity pursuing this code should verify whether actual demand exists for the specific product line or whether the opportunities are more properly addressed through broader commodity food codes aligned with comprehensive school nutrition and institutional food-service procurement.
