UNSPSC 50355429: Frozen organic merton pride pears

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

UNSPSC 50355429 Frozen organic merton pride pears is a Commodity-tier code that describes specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments do not currently procure frozen organic merton pride pears as a specific line item under this code. The recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code actually describe broad grocery and fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, including fresh apples, berries, citrus, leafy greens, root vegetables, and processed fresh produce items—not frozen organic specialty pears. The Commodity code itself does not align with the work being solicited by issuing bodies. No recent state and local opportunities target frozen organic merton pride pears specifically; the code shows little relevant recent activity in this procurement market.

School districts and county boards of education across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri dominate the recent grocery and fresh produce solicitations appearing under this code's tag, including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System. These jurisdictions issue annual RFPs and IFBs for school nutrition program support under the National School Lunch Program. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport's solicitation for over 1,100 grocery line items (IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's request for over 200 fresh produce line items (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026). All contracts require Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, firm pricing, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday.
