UNSPSC 50345450: Frozen summer gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50345450 Frozen summer gold pears — a Commodity code — does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity tracked under this taxonomy. Recent opportunities tagged with this code span comprehensive grocery and food-service procurement across institutional, school nutrition, and correctional food programs rather than single-product frozen-fruit sourcing. The code sees solicitation activity from state health and human services agencies (notably Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers), school districts and boards of education (particularly in Georgia but also in Connecticut, Missouri, Texas, and Florida), county governments, and specialized procurement groups like Head Start programs and correctional systems. State and local buyers use this code — and related grocery-level codes — to tag diverse food-service contracts that encompass frozen products alongside fresh, dry, and prepared items, often numbering hundreds of line items per solicitation.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri) and includes multiple school-district procurements for breakfast and lunch programs under National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program authority, plus state facility food-service bids. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (due July 27, 2026), which covers approximately 110 line items across proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and packaging with a prior-year spend baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for grocery items supporting the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026), spanning over 1,100 line items with Buy American requirements (51% domestic agricultural ingredients) and compliance with Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards; Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat under CACFP requirements with estimated procurement value of $969,460.94 (due June 24, 2026); and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026). Buyers consistently require firm, fixed pricing; HACCP compliance; food-safety certifications; Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences where federal funding is involved; and delivery schedules (typically Monday–Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. to multiple school or facility sites).
