UNSPSC 50345441: Frozen rosy red pears

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

UNSPSC 50345441 Frozen rosy red pears (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The most recent opportunities tagged under this code or related frozen-produce categories reflect broad solicitations for food service delivery spanning proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and frozen items—but none explicitly isolate frozen rosy red pears as a line item or purchasing priority. School districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and correctional facilities dominate the issuing-body mix across frozen-food and grocery procurement, with Texas (HHSC and state hospitals), Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), and Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools) showing the heaviest recent activity. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two parallel IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products covering state hospitals and supported living centers statewide—HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital (IFB, due July 27, 2026) and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 11, 2026)—both spanning hundreds of line items across frozen, refrigerated, and dry categories under NIGP commodity classes 375–385. Similar comprehensive grocery and frozen-food solicitations posted from school nutrition programs in Bridgeport, Connecticut (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026); Head Start of Greater Dallas (26GP, IFB, due June 24, 2026, estimated value $969,460.94); and multiple Georgia school districts.

Frozen commodity procurement at state and local level focuses on volume supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, 12-month terms, and delivery to multiple sites or central distribution points. Vendors compete primarily on price, delivery capability, insurance and compliance certifications, and ability to handle USDA or child nutrition program requirements. A single frozen-pear line item would sit within a broader produce category spanning apples, berries, tropical fruits, and seasonal vegetables rather than stand alone—the Hancock County Schools produce bid (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) listed over 200 fresh and specialty produce line items, and the Savannah-Chatham County Schools produce contract (BID2634, due April 23, 2026) covered 72 items. Cost-plus-percentage proposals are rejected; pricing must be firm for the contract period with escalations permitted only on documented market conditions. Schools, state hospitals, and correctional facilities collectively represent the largest customer base, but opportunities are too fragmented across hundreds of line items to isolate demand specifically for frozen rosy red pears without direct access to executed contracts or commodity-level spend analysis.
