UNSPSC 50345421: Frozen hosui pears

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

UNSPSC 50345421 Frozen hosui pears, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement that receives minimal direct solicitation activity. When state and local bodies do procure frozen pears, they typically bundle them into larger grocery or fresh produce contracts rather than source them as standalone items. Recent state and local opportunities show frozen pears appearing incidentally within broad frozen-food and grocery procurements—most notably in large supplemental-food buys for state institutions and school nutrition programs—but no recent solicitations have targeted frozen hosui pears specifically.

The code shows activity primarily through Texas Health and Human Services Commission facilities, Georgia school districts, and institutional food service operations, though these buyers solicit frozen fruit items as one line among hundreds in comprehensive food contracts. The Texas HHS supplemental food buys (IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, with responses due March 19 and July 13, 2026 respectively) and school district grocery procurements in Georgia (Early County Board of Education, Hancock County Board, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools) all reference frozen fruit categories within broader NIGP commodity classes, but none isolate frozen hosui pears as a line item. Activity is geographically concentrated in Texas and Georgia, driven by state hospital, state supported living center, and school meal program food service needs. Given the absence of direct recent solicitations specifically for frozen hosui pears, pursuit of opportunities under this code should focus on entry strategies through larger regional food-service distributors bidding on comprehensive frozen-food and grocery contracts where this commodity may be requested as a secondary or specialty item rather than a primary procurement focus.
