UNSPSC 50345446: Frozen sensation pears

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

UNSPSC 50345446 Frozen sensation pears is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal scope. The code shows no recent state and local procurement opportunities that actually solicit frozen sensation pears or closely related specialty frozen pear products. The most recent opportunities tagged to this code encompass broad grocery and food service procurement across produce, proteins, dairy, prepared foods, and consumables—categories substantially wider than the code's specific product line. This mismatch indicates either misclassification of opportunities by issuing bodies or that frozen sensation pears are sourced as line items within large master food service contracts rather than as standalone procurements.

State and local purchasing activity in frozen fruit categories concentrates in school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county correctional facilities, with issuing bodies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school nutrition authorities across Georgia, Florida, Missouri, and Connecticut, and county facilities in California and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' April 2026 ITB for frozen fruit berries (40,000 pounds of IQF blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, or Marion berries, due April 23, 2026); the County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts supporting the Sheriff's Department of Correction (due February 5, 2026); and multiple school district RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive fresh and frozen produce spanning apple varieties, berries, stone fruits, and specialty items as components of annual nutrition service contracts. Frozen fruit items typically appear as line items within broader grocery or produce contracts rather than as sole-source procurements, bundled with fresh produce, proteins, and pantry staples in school lunch and breakfast programs and institutional food service operations.
