UNSPSC 50355410: Frozen organic comice pears

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

UNSPSC 50355410 Frozen organic comice pears is a Commodity code representing highly specialized produce items that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and county social services. The recent opportunities posted under this code show that state and local issuing bodies are buying broad food-supply contracts encompassing shelf-stable groceries, fresh produce, frozen items, dairy, and proteins — not frozen comice pears specifically. The school districts and county agencies procuring under this code typically issue multi-line-item bids covering 200 to 1,100 line items across entire food categories, with individual commodity codes assigned to line items or product families rather than to single fruit varieties. The work involves purchasing food meeting National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), nutrition standards including whole-grain and low-sodium specifications, and delivery to school warehouses or central distribution points on firm-fixed pricing with transportation included.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Connecticut, and appears concentrated in school district nutrition departments and county social services. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple and berry varieties, with bids due June 26, 2026. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote request on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items with a deadline of October 19, 2026 and delivery required by December 7, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education issued an electronic bid on June 30, 2026 covering over 1,100 grocery line items subject to Buy American compliance and laboratory testing at vendor expense. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 with 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies, bids due June 8, 2026. The State of Georgia also posted a food and supplies bid on May 15, 2026 with a June 22, 2026 deadline. No recent opportunities appear to solicit frozen comice pears as a discrete line item or primary scope; the code shows minimal activity targeting this specific commodity in isolation.
