UNSPSC 50355423: Frozen organic jargonelle pears

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

UNSPSC 50355423 Frozen organic jargonelle pears is a Commodity code. The recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code shows little relevance to the nominal scope — the opportunities are overwhelmingly broad grocery and food-service solicitations from school districts and municipal education agencies, not purchases of a specific frozen pear variety. The scope of work actually being procured spans comprehensive food-service supply chains: frozen and fresh produce, proteins, grains, dairy, condiments, snacks, and kitchen supplies to support National School Lunch Programs and School Breakfast Programs across multiple school sites. Issuing bodies are school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and one state agency (State of Georgia), all conducting annual procurements through IFB, RFP, or line-item bid structures with firm fixed pricing and standardized delivery schedules.

The geographic spread centers on Georgia (Hancock County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), with activity also in Connecticut (Bridgeport) and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line-item grocery items due June 30, 2026, requiring Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, and National School Lunch Program adherence; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (over 200 line items across apples, berries, root vegetables, and specialty items) due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026. Vendors competing in this code typically face firm-pricing requirements, no fuel surcharges, 24-48 hour delivery windows, HACCP and recall plan documentation, Buy American compliance at 51 percent domestic content for processed items, and commercial liability insurance minimums of $1 million per occurrence.
