UNSPSC 50345419: Frozen french butter pears

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

UNSPSC 50345419 Frozen french butter pears, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The source contains no solicitations for frozen french butter pears specifically. Recent opportunities under this code span institutional food service groceries for state hospitals and supported living centers, school district nutrition programs, county parks concessions, and early childhood care food service—purchases of shelf-stable proteins, dairy, prepared entrees, frozen vegetables, fresh produce, and disposable serviceware rather than specialty frozen fruit items. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement patterns suggests either a classification inconsistency in the source data or minimal activity in frozen butter pears at the state and local level.

State and local buyers soliciting grocery and food service items include Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), state departments of education and corrections, county boards of education and commissioners, school districts, and specialized agencies such as Head Start programs and food distribution authorities. Texas dominates the recent activity, with HHSC issuing nine solicitations between May and August 2026 for frozen foods, groceries, and consumables serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Gwinnett County (Georgia), Collier County (Florida), the State of New Jersey Department of Human Services, Oregon Department of Corrections, Head Start of Greater Dallas, and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education also posted food procurement IFBs and ITNs. Representative opportunities include HHSC's frozen food products IFB HHS0017338 (estimated annual volume approximately $9 million), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026), and Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items bid BNB052266 (over 1,100 line items, due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American provisions and nutrition standards). The recent activity reflects institutional procurement cycles aligned with school fiscal years and state budget periods rather than specialized frozen butter pear sourcing.
