UNSPSC 50355419: Frozen organic french butter pears

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

UNSPSC 50355419 Frozen organic french butter pears (Commodity) describes a specific frozen produce item, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevant solicitation volume; the opportunities posted align instead with broad food procurement for school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service, spanning multiple produce and protein categories rather than specialty frozen pears specifically. State and local governments procure frozen pears as line items within larger food contracts, not as standalone commodity purchases, and the recent bid postings emphasize fresh produce, shelf-stable pantry items, and complete meal-support inventories rather than specialty frozen fruit products.

The issuing bodies driving recent activity under this category are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state-level purchasing (State of Georgia), all procuring through IFB and informal written-quote processes to support the National School Lunch Program and community nutrition programs. Geographic concentration appears in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County) and Connecticut (Bridgeport), with the State of Georgia also active as a buying entity. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (bids due June 26, 2026), spanning 200+ line items of fresh fruit and vegetables for three school sites; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (bids due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items plus non-food supplies; and Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (quotes due October 19, 2026). The source shows no stand-alone specialty frozen pear procurement; vendors should expect to compete on pears as one component within broader produce or food-supply contracts emphasizing domestic sourcing, Buy American compliance, nutrition standards, and firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.
