UNSPSC 50345427: Frozen kings royal pears

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

UNSPSC 50345427 Frozen kings royal pears is a Commodity code that encompasses frozen fruit products for institutional food service, though state and local procurement under this specific code focuses on broader frozen produce procurement rather than pears exclusively. State and local governments purchase frozen fruits and vegetables through this category to support school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and child care programs. Recent solicitations tagged to this code show school districts and state health agencies procuring comprehensive frozen and fresh produce alongside other grocery items, with frozen berries, mixed vegetables, and specialty frozen products appearing as line items within larger food service contracts rather than standalone pear procurements.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospital and supported living center operations, Georgia school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Henry County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), Florida school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools), Missouri school districts (Rockwood R-VI School District), Connecticut municipal government (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), and the Oregon Department of Corrections. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) covering approximately 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, and pantry staples with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026; and Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB for grocery products with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 and a pre-bid conference scheduled for April 16, 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), Texas (HHSC state facilities and Head Start operations), and scattered procurement across California (Santa Clara County), Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Oregon, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant category of recent activity.
