UNSPSC 50355411: Frozen organic concorde pears

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

UNSPSC 50355411 Frozen organic concorde pears is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within broader school-nutrition procurement. State and local governments buy frozen pears under this code primarily as components of larger grocery and frozen-food contracts that support school breakfast and lunch programs. The recent opportunities block shows no standalone solicitations for frozen organic concorde pears; instead, the code appears tagged to multi-category food procurements where frozen produce is one line item among hundreds. School districts, municipal school boards, and county boards of education issue these solicitations—typically through IFB or RFP—to meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content in processed products), and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance. Vendors must maintain HACCP plans, provide 24/7 recall accessibility, carry general liability and products liability insurance, comply with E-Verify authorization, and deliver to multiple school sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.

The most active geographic region for this code is Georgia, where multiple school districts—Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System—have solicited fresh and frozen produce within the past six months. Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport) also appear in the recent record. Representative solicitations include the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items across apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items; the Rockwood R-VI School District grocery solicitation (due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items including frozen products; and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Frozen pears appear as individual line items within these broader scopes rather than as stand-alone procurements, indicating that vendors must compete on complete product portfolios across multiple frozen and fresh categories rather than on single items.
