UNSPSC 50355414: Frozen organic d'anjou pears

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

UNSPSC 50355414 Frozen organic d'anjou pears is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. The recent opportunities posted show that issuing bodies are using this code to tag broad-based school nutrition grocery and produce solicitations rather than frozen d'anjou pears specifically. The actual work being solicited spans comprehensive food service procurement—fresh and frozen produce, dairy, proteins, grains, prepared entrees, condiments, and non-food supplies—to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with eight of nine recent opportunities from individual school districts or consolidated county school systems; one state-level procurement (Georgia Department of Education) and one city system (Bridgeport, Connecticut) account for the remainder. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, strict nutritional standards including whole-grain and low-sodium requirements, E-Verify authorization, and liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence. Contract periods run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend or renew; pricing is firm throughout unless supported by third-party market documentation (USDA Agricultural Marketing Service, Urner Barry, or Consumer Price Index reports), and no separate fuel surcharges are permitted.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Georgia, with five opportunities from Douglas County, Hancock County, Decatur City, Early County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems, all posted between February and June 2026. Connecticut and Missouri each show one active solicitation. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases seeking grocery items (BID BNB052266, RFP, response due June 30, 2026) covering 1,100+ line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education with delivery to a central warehouse and school sites; Hancock County Board of Education requesting fresh produce bids (IFB #SN002-2027, response due June 26, 2026) encompassing 200+ line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce for three school locations; and Douglas County School System issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, response due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across 30 school districts. The code shows active procurement momentum, though the mismatch between the Commodity's nominal title and actual solicitation scope signals either miscoding in state and local systems or use of the code as a catch-all for school nutrition supply contracts.
