UNSPSC 50345431: Frozen olivier de serres pears

The variety of pears known as olivier de serres pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50345431 Frozen olivier de serres pears (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity under this code. State and local governments purchase frozen fruits and vegetables in bulk quantity — frozen berries, mixed vegetables, and specialty produce — to support institutional food service for schools, correctional facilities, and state-supported living centers, not a specific pear variety. Recent solicitations show school districts, state health and human services commissions, and county governments buying frozen produce as commodity inputs to meal programs under generic frozen-food line items rather than requesting olivier de serres pears by name or cultivar.

The mix of issuing bodies spans state departments (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, Henry County Schools in Georgia), municipal school systems (City Schools of Decatur in Georgia, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida), independent school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri), nonprofit child-care providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas), and county correctional systems (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department, Oregon Department of Corrections). State health and human services facilities (Big Spring State Hospital and El Paso State Supported Living Center in Texas) also procure frozen produce routinely. Georgia school districts appear most frequently in the recent opportunity set. Geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, California, Florida, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut, with Texas HHSC and Georgia school districts as standout repeat buyers. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017660 for frozen foods and groceries for Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), the City of Bridgeport RFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products for school nutrition (due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods and produce for child care (due June 24, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016590 for frozen berries at an estimated $35,600 contract value (due April 23, 2026). The code shows significant, active procurement volume but no substantive connection to frozen olivier de serres pears specifically.
