UNSPSC 50355430: Frozen organic mountain bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50355430 Frozen organic mountain bartlett pears is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition program food services, though the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically targeting frozen organic pears in isolation. Instead, frozen pears appear as individual line items within comprehensive grocery and frozen-food procurements for school districts. The code's actual scope at state and local level encompasses frozen fruit products meeting USDA compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium nutrition standards, proper labeling with nutrition fact and CN labels, and delivery to school sites under contracts that typically run July 1 through June 30 annually. School districts and school system nutrition services departments are the primary issuing bodies, with procurement structured through IFBs and RFPs that bundle frozen pears alongside dozens or hundreds of other food items rather than as standalone commodities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) for over 1,100 line-item grocery items including frozen products for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with Buy American domestic-content requirements and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday. In Georgia, the Hancock County Board of Education solicited fresh produce (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) with over 200 line items; the Decatur City Schools issued an IFB (PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026) for frozen foods and grocery items across ten school sites; and the Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across two areas with estimated spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Frozen pears, when present, are priced on a line-item basis within these broader food service contracts, subject to firm fixed pricing for the contract year, no separate fuel surcharges, and compliance with HACCP plans, E-Verify requirements, and minimum general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence.
