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 state and local procurement of specialty frozen fruit products, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the specific commodity name. State and local governments soliciting under related food-procurement codes are primarily purchasing broad-spectrum food items to support school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food services. The issuing bodies span school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (State of Georgia), and municipal purchasing offices (City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases). The mix reflects institutional food procurement concentrated in K-12 school nutrition, with secondary demand from county senior services and state-level provisioning. Solicitations emphasize compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content where applicable), and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. Delivery infrastructure and logistics are central to buyer evaluation — vendors must meet tight delivery windows (often 48-hour turnaround), maintain temperature and stock rotation controls, use standardized pallet formats, and accept orders through school-district ordering systems such as LINQ School Solutions.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (berries, citrus, stone fruit, leafy greens, root vegetables) with a June 26, 2026 due date for the 2026-27 school year. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (canned proteins, grains, sauces, vegetables) with an October 19, 2026 deadline for delivery to the Senior Services Center. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies with a June 8, 2026 due date. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases, on behalf of the Bridgeport Board of Education, solicited over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026 through the OpenGov e-Procurement Portal. The State of Georgia posted a general food supplies and kitchen products bid with a June 22, 2026 due date. These solicitations reveal that frozen specialty fruit such as frozen organic forelle pears, if procured under this code, would be purchased as part of larger institutional food contracts rather than as standalone commodity buys, and typically must meet organic certification and domestic-sourcing requirements where applicable.
