UNSPSC 50355418: Frozen organic forelle pears

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

UNSPSC 50355418 Frozen organic forelle pears is a Commodity code that captures fresh and frozen produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and boards of education, which dominate the recent activity. The procurement scope spans frozen and fresh produce items as line items within comprehensive grocery and food-service contracts that support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; frozen organic forelle pears appear in multi-category food solicitations alongside apples, berries, vegetables, dairy, meats, and condiments rather than as standalone specialty-item procurements. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes (from Rockwood R-VI serving nearly 19,000 students to smaller county systems), city school systems, county boards of education, and in one case a state department (Georgia), with school nutrition administrators or child nutrition services departments as the primary procurement contacts.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering 200+ line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty fruits for delivery to three school sites; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) spanning over 900 line items with approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants; the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP (due March 4, 2026) administered through the GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 school districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two; and the City of Bridgeport's grocery items bid (due June 30, 2026) requiring Buy American compliance with at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content and delivery to a central warehouse plus designated school sites. All solicitations mandate firm pricing for the contract period (typically July 1 through June 30), compliance with whole-grain and nutrition standards, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, commercial general liability insurance at $1 million per occurrence minimum, and adherence to Buy American provisions where applicable.
