UNSPSC 50345439: Frozen rocha pears

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

UNSPSC 50345439 Frozen rocha pears is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized frozen fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and child care centers. Recent opportunities show that frozen pears rarely appear as standalone line items; instead, procurement activity concentrates on broader frozen produce categories that include pears alongside mixed berries, tropical fruit blends, and other frozen stone fruits within comprehensive food service RFPs and IFBs. The code sees limited dedicated solicitation volume compared to commodity families covering general grocery items, fresh produce, or frozen vegetables, which dominate state and local procurement activity.

School districts, state health and human services agencies, and county school boards represent the primary issuing bodies. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly across multiple institutional food service solicitations (state hospitals and state supported living centers); Georgia school systems (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Fulton County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, and the Douglas County School System) solicit frozen and fresh produce regularly; and Head Start of Greater Dallas procures frozen foods for child care programs. Recent opportunities show frozen fruit procurement embedded within broader food supply contracts rather than isolated by fruit type—for example, the Texas HHS Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFBs (HHS0016792, HHS0017449, HHS0017660) and the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP all reference frozen foods as line items within multi-category grocery bids due in June and July 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in California (Santa Clara County detention foodservice), Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Missouri (Rockwood School District), and Oregon (Department of Corrections). The code shows material recent opportunity volume only when frozen fruit appears as part of comprehensive food service procurement; standalone frozen rocha pear solicitations do not appear in the recent state and local contract block.
