UNSPSC 50355415: Frozen organic dr jules guyot pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic dr jules guyot pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355415 Frozen organic Dr Jules Guyot pears, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement opportunities presently tagged under it. The code nominally specifies a single frozen fruit product line, yet the recent solicitations posted under this code request bids for comprehensive school nutrition programs spanning hundreds of line items — fresh produce, grocery staples, frozen foods, dairy, meats, prepared entrees, and non-food supplies — with only incidental or no mention of frozen pears specifically. The mismatch between the code's narrow product scope and the breadth of actual school nutrition procurement activity suggests either a coding error in source systems or an overly broad application of the Commodity code to capture multiple product categories within institutional food service.

State and local school districts and purchasing offices across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri drive the recent activity, with issuing bodies including the Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), 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 serving a 30-district cooperative). Recent representative solicitations include Bridgeport's June 30, 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program with Buy American provisions and blind product testing; Hancock County's June 26, 2026 IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables; and Douglas County's February 18, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts through the GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One. Firms pursuing work under this code should clarify actual product focus with issuing bodies at bid inquiry, as the Commodity code itself provides little reliable signal of whether frozen pear supply is genuinely in scope or whether broader food service distribution and procurement is the actual market opportunity.
