UNSPSC 50345411: Frozen concorde pears

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

UNSPSC 50345411 Frozen concorde pears (Commodity) does not appear in state and local procurement activity. The recent solicitations tagged under this code cover school nutrition, institutional food service, and produce distribution broadly—grocery items, fresh produce, frozen foods, and produce-supply contracts—but none specifically name frozen concorde pears or pears as a discrete line item. The code's nominal specificity (a single fruit variety in a single form) does not match the actual scope of what state and local governments are buying, which is comprehensive food and produce procurement spanning dozens or hundreds of line items per solicitation. The solicitations show robust recent activity in frozen and fresh produce categories across school districts, state health and human services agencies, and correctional facilities, but the commodity code itself does not correspond to observed procurement patterns.

Activity is concentrated in school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Florida, and California, with additional state-level procurement by health and human services departments in Texas and departments of corrections in Oregon and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System soliciting fresh produce annually (Bid 26-34, IFB, due April 23, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in Missouri seeking grocery items for 2026-27 (IFB, bids due April 29, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals statewide (IFB HHS0016792, bids due February 23, 2026, with a maximum contract value of $4.5 million). School districts consistently require HACCP plans, Buy American compliance with domestic sourcing preferences, nutrition standards compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites. If frozen concorde pears are a commodity your firm supplies, monitoring broader UNSPSC Class 50345000 (Pears and pear products) or Family 50340000 (Fruits and vegetables) would likely surface relevant opportunities more reliably than this narrow Commodity code.
