UNSPSC 50345454: Frozen taylors red pears

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

UNSPSC 50345454 Frozen taylors red pears, a Commodity code, describes a specialized frozen produce line item. The recent state and local opportunities block, however, shows no solicitations specifically for frozen Taylor red pears or comparable single-SKU frozen pear products. Instead, the 20 opportunities posted since January 2026 span broad school nutrition, corrections food service, and health and human services institutional procurement — all seeking comprehensive grocery and produce baskets rather than individual frozen fruit commodities. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity sits outside active state and local purchasing patterns.

State and local buyers soliciting under broader frozen and fresh produce codes include school districts (Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Henry County, City Schools of Decatur, Hancock County, Early County, Rockwood R-VI, Fulton County, and Hillsborough County across Georgia, Missouri, Florida, and Connecticut), institutional food service buyers (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state hospitals and supported living centers, Oregon Department of Corrections, County of Santa Clara Corrections), Head Start programs, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-district consortia. Geographic spread spans Texas, Georgia, California, Connecticut, Missouri, Oregon, and Florida. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0017660 (Big Spring State Hospital groceries, July 27, 2026 response date, $32,226.36 prior-year baseline), the Bridgeport Board of Education IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (June 30, 2026 response date, Buy American and nutrition standard compliance required), and the Head Start of Greater Dallas IFB for 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat (June 24, 2026 response date, $969,460.94 estimated value). No recent opportunity specifically targets frozen Taylor red pears as a standalone line item or as a distinguishable subcategory within a broader frozen fruit procurement. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity and appears misaligned with current state and local procurement practice.
