UNSPSC 50345414: Frozen d'anjou pears

The variety of pears known as d'anjou pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345414 Frozen d'anjou pears is a Commodity code that sees limited direct solicitation under its specific designation; state and local government procurement in this code tier typically appears nested within broader food-service and nutrition contracting. The recent state and local opportunities in the data show that frozen pears surface as line items within comprehensive grocery and food-supply bids for institutional meal programs—school districts, health and human services facilities, and county detention systems regularly source frozen fruit as a component of breakfast, lunch, and dietary-staple procurement rather than as standalone categories. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions (Texas HHSC), school districts (Hancock County, Fulton County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; City Schools of Decatur in Georgia; Hillsborough County in Florida), county corrections systems (Santa Clara County, California), and regional Head Start organizations. These buyers treat frozen fruit as a cost-controlled commodity within larger food-service contracts, often bundled with frozen vegetables, proteins, and dairy under consolidated IFBs and RFPs.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Texas, where school nutrition procurement and state institutional food-service contracting dominate the recent opportunity set. Texas HHSC has posted multiple IFBs and RFPs (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital due July 27, 2026; HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792 statewide supplemental food and consumables) covering frozen fruit as a line item within 200+ product-line solicitations; Georgia school districts have issued over a dozen separate food-service IFBs in the past six months (Hancock County, Bulloch County, Henry County, Early County, Savannah-Chatham, and Decatur all posted fresh and frozen produce bids between February and July 2026). The code shows no standalone frozen d'anjou pear procurement in the recent dataset—all activity involves frozen pears as one item among dozens in institutional meal-service contracts. Activity is otherwise sparse across California, Missouri, and Florida, with limited additional geographic representation. Pursue this code by tracking school nutrition and state institutional food-service RFPs and IFBs across the Southeast and Southwest, targeting line-item inclusion in the broader frozen and fresh produce categories rather than expecting commodity-specific opportunities.
