UNSPSC 50355404 Frozen organic bartlett pears is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of fresh and frozen produce for school nutrition programs, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically naming frozen organic bartlett pears or even frozen fruit varieties.
