UNSPSC 50345439: Frozen rocha pears

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

UNSPSC 50345439 Frozen rocha pears, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity appearing in recent state and local contract opportunities. The code's nominal scope—frozen rocha pears specifically—does not match the food service and institutional grocery solicitations that state and local buyers are posting. Recent opportunities under this code span broad institutional food procurement: Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) bids for frozen food products, groceries, and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quotes for shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, rice, and sauces; Oregon Department of Corrections' bid for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples; and school district food service contracts. The issuing bodies include state health and human services agencies, county governments, school boards, and special-purpose districts. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC facilities), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Early County, Hancock County), Oregon, Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education), Florida (Collier County), and New Jersey. Frozen fruits and vegetables appear as line items within larger institutional food procurement rather than as standalone specialty commodities.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC's IFB HHS0017338V1 for frozen food products across state hospitals and supported living centers, with bids due August 18, 2026, estimated annual volume of approximately $9 million and maximum potential contract value of $19 million over the full contract period; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB S2910000017684 for approximately 40,000 pounds of frozen sliced or diced apples due August 19, 2026, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% resident-bidder preference available; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items including multiple apple varieties due June 26, 2026; and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. No recent solicitation specifically names frozen rocha pears as the primary procurement vehicle; the code's nominal commodity does not align with the broader institutional food service purchasing visible in current state and local activity.
