UNSPSC 50345417: Frozen emperor brown pears

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

UNSPSC 50345417 Frozen emperor brown pears (Commodity) shows minimal state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's specific product scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for frozen emperor brown pears or closely related single-fruit frozen products. Instead, state and local governments are procuring frozen and fresh produce through broad food service contracts that span dozens or hundreds of line items—proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, and mixed frozen vegetables alongside fresh and specialty fruits—rather than purchasing frozen emperor brown pears as a discrete commodity. The code itself names a narrowly defined product; the solicitations in the source reflect procurement of general grocery and food service supplies where frozen pears, if purchased at all, would represent one item among hundreds in a consolidated bid.

Purchasing bodies active in the recent opportunities include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Early County Schools in Georgia, Bulloch County Schools in Georgia, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, New Jersey Department of Human Services), correctional facilities (Santa Clara County Department of Correction), transit or child-care operators (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county/municipal food service operations. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (seven school district solicitations), Texas (multiple HHSC state hospital and supported living center procurements), and scattered activity in Florida, Connecticut, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, and California. Representative opportunities include Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026, ~110 line items with historical spend baseline $32,226.36), City of Bridgeport Board of Education IFB BID052266 for grocery items spanning 1,100+ line items with Buy American and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act requirements (due June 30, 2026), and Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for grocery products across multiple suppliers serving 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meats under CACFP standards ($969,460.94 estimated value, bids due June 24, 2026). No recent solicitation focuses on frozen emperor brown pears as a standalone or primary product line; procurement professionals should monitor broader food service categories or regional fresh-produce consolidators rather than expect demand for this commodity code alone.
