UNSPSC 50345436: Frozen perry pears

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

UNSPSC 50345436 Frozen perry pears, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source documents sixteen recent solicitations for food products issued by Georgia, Texas, New Jersey, Oregon, Connecticut, and other jurisdictions between May 2026 and October 2026, but none specifically solicit frozen perry pears. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Gwinnett County), municipalities (City of Bridgeport), and regional service providers (Head Start of Greater Dallas). The procurement activity spans fresh produce, frozen vegetables and fruits, frozen entrees and proteins, shelf-stable groceries, and institutional food service supplies across IFBs, RFQs, and ITNs, but the narrowly defined commodity of frozen perry pears is not represented in any recent notice.

The geographic footprint includes Texas (six HHSC solicitations for state hospitals and supported living centers), Georgia (county education boards), Oregon, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Dallas. Typical frozen-fruit procurements in the source—such as Oregon Department of Corrections' August 2026 request for 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples (bid due August 19, 2026) and Texas HHSC's solicitations for frozen food products across state campuses—reflect institutional bulk purchase of more common frozen fruits. The absence of frozen perry pears from current notices suggests either negligible demand in state and local institutional food service, highly specialized sourcing through alternative channels, or misclassification of perry pear products under different commodity codes within the broader frozen-fruit or produce families.
