UNSPSC 50355401: Frozen organic abate fetel pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic abate fetel pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355401 Frozen organic abate fetel pears is a Commodity code that rarely appears in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities block shows no direct sourcing of this specific product. The code's nominal scope—a single variety of specialty frozen fruit—diverges sharply from what state and local governments actually buy in food procurement, which spans hundreds of line items across breakfast cereals, canned proteins, fresh produce, dairy, poultry, meats, seafood, condiments, and non-food supplies. School districts, county governments, and state agencies procure food through volume IFBs and RFQs to support the National School Lunch Program and general nutrition services, but these solicitations buy mixed commodity baskets rather than single frozen-fruit line items. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes.

Recent opportunities posted by Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education demonstrate that state and local food procurement happens primarily in Georgia and Connecticut, with solicitations concentrated among school districts and county nutrition departments. Gwinnett County issued an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta) due October 19, 2026; the City of Bridgeport sought bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for school nutrition services with a June 30, 2026 deadline via electronic submission through OpenGov; Hancock County Board of Education bid fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year due June 26, 2026; and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids on 300+ food items plus non-food supplies due June 8, 2026. All contracts emphasize Buy American content thresholds, HACCP compliance, firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, and delivery to school sites or senior services facilities Monday through Friday during standard morning hours.
