UNSPSC 50345451: Frozen sun gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50345451 Frozen sun gold pears, a Commodity code, spans fresh and frozen produce supplied to state and local food-service operations — primarily school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and institutional cafeterias serving state hospitals and residential facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing frozen pears alongside broader frozen-produce and fresh-produce categories, though frozen sun gold pears appear in procurement scope only as line items within larger multi-category food-service buys rather than as standalone commodity solicitations.

Activity clusters in school districts and state health and human services agencies across Texas, Georgia, Florida, California, and Missouri. Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple institutional-food-service IFBs (HHS0017660 for Big Spring State Hospital, HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center, and HHS0016792 for statewide state hospitals and supported living centers) with response dates ranging from February through July 2026, each covering 200+ food line items including frozen fruits and vegetables under firm fixed-price contracts running one to three years. School districts dominate the competitive landscape — Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) all posted fresh and frozen produce bids between January and June 2026 with sealed-bid response dates in February through June. A smaller volume of county-level institutional procurements appears: Santa Clara County (California) solicited dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services in January 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia school systems, followed by Texas state agencies and Missouri school districts. Frozen pears as a specific line item do not appear in any posted opportunity summary; the commodity code likely maps to frozen-produce-inclusive food-service contracts where pear offerings are specified by case or unit but not isolated as standalone line-item opportunities, making this code a follower rather than a driver of recent competitive activity.
