UNSPSC 50345432: Frozen onward pears

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

UNSPSC 50345432 Frozen onward pears, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity available in this dataset. The code nominally describes a single frozen fruit product; however, the most recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive grocery procurement, school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and produce distribution contracts—none of which specify frozen pears as a line item. State and local governments buying under this code tag are in fact soliciting bulk food service supplies, proteins, dairy, seasonal produce, frozen novelties, and prepared entrees through multi-item invitation-for-bids (IFBs) and requests for proposal (RFPs) that do not isolate frozen pears as a distinct commodity. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either systematic miscoding in the source data or that this code is used as a catch-all category for frozen produce line items within larger food service contracts rather than as a targeted procurement vehicle for frozen pears alone.

The issuing bodies across recent opportunities are predominantly school districts (Bulloch County, Hancock County, Fulton County, Henry County, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, and Douglas County Schools) and state institutions (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, County of Santa Clara Correctional Services). Head Start of Greater Dallas, Inc. and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education round out the set. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and California. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, due July 27, 2026), City of Bridgeport BNB052266 (Board of Education grocery items, due June 30, 2026), Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP (frozen foods and produce, due June 24, 2026 with pre-bid April 16, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education SN002-2027 (fresh produce, due June 26, 2026). These solicitations stress Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing, and multi-location delivery—patterns that dominate the entire dataset but bear no specific relationship to frozen pears.
