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

UNSPSC 50355420 Frozen organic glou morceau pears is a Commodity code that does not see significant relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The eight recent solicitations in the source are tagged to this frozen pear code but actually procure broad school nutrition programs spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, meats, grains, and grocery staples—not pears or pear-specific products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying signals little or no targeted demand for this specific frozen commodity at the state and local level. School districts and state agencies are acquiring these frozen pears, if at all, as line items within omnibus grocery and nutrition contracts rather than as standalone procurements.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Early County, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), with one procurement from the State of Georgia and one from the City of Bridgeport. The geographic concentration is in Georgia and Connecticut, with additional activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's grocery items bid (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce solicitation spanning 200+ line items (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs across a 30-district cooperative (PE64810NONST2026000000047, RFP, due March 4, 2026, estimated spend $4.4 million for Area One).
