UNSPSC 50355402: Frozen organic anjou pears

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

UNSPSC 50355402 Frozen organic anjou pears (Commodity) covers frozen pear products supplied to school nutrition programs and food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations tag this code alongside broader grocery and frozen-food procurements for child nutrition, where frozen pears appear as line items within multi-hundred-item fresh and frozen produce requisitions. The scope spans delivery of frozen specialty produce to school cafeterias and central distribution warehouses, typically as part of larger school meal contracts that emphasize USDA Buy American compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, HACCP food safety plans, and nutritional labeling. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—including Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—along with occasional municipal procurement offices such as the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut). The code shows minimal standalone activity; frozen pears typically surface as one commodity among dozens or hundreds in consolidated food-service RFPs and IFBs rather than as dedicated solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts, with additional procurement from Connecticut municipalities. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (including multiple apple and pear varieties) due June 26, 2026; Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products, with responses due June 8, 2026; City Schools of Decatur issuing an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items due May 15, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District soliciting grocery items with electronic submissions due April 29, 2026; and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System issuing Bid 26-34 for fresh produce with sealed bids due April 23, 2026. All contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with firm pricing, prepaid freight, and compliance requirements including E-Verify, federal debarment certification, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2,000,000), and mock-recall capability. No dedicated solicitations for frozen organic anjou pears alone appear in recent postings; the code sees activity only as a line-item component within multi-product food-service contracts.
