UNSPSC 50345447: Frozen star crimson pears

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

UNSPSC 50345447 Frozen star crimson pears, a Commodity code, sees minimal direct solicitation activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block contains no instances of frozen star crimson pears being procured. The code is tagged in procurement systems but does not correspond to active purchasing patterns in the records reviewed. State and local food service buyers—school districts, state health and human services agencies, county corrections facilities, and child nutrition programs—are procuring frozen fruits and produce in volume, but the specific commodity of frozen star crimson pears does not appear among the line items in any of the representative recent solicitations spanning Texas, Georgia, California, Missouri, Florida, Oregon, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Recent frozen-fruit and produce procurement activity across the state and local sector focuses on common varieties rather than specialty items. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017660, HHS0017449, HHS0016792V2, HHS0016792), with bid deadlines between February and July 2026; these solicitations cover frozen foods, fresh produce, and staple items but do not enumerate frozen star crimson pears. School districts in Georgia—Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Henry County, and the Douglas County Food Supply and Distribution RFP—bid frozen produce categories including berries, vegetables, and mixed frozen items, with bid deadlines between February and June 2026, but none specify this variety. Head Start of Greater Dallas (IFB 26-GP, due June 24, 2026) and Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP 26039RFPDST for FFVP, proposals due March 11, 2026) procured frozen and fresh produce without citing frozen star crimson pears. The Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S2910000016590, due April 23, 2026) solicited frozen fruit berries in bulk but listed common varieties—blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, Marion berries. The absence of this commodity across all recent state and local solicitations indicates either very limited demand or a mismatch between the code assignment and actual procurement practice. Vendors pursuing this code should validate current demand through direct outreach to state institutional food service programs and school nutrition authorities before resource commitment.
