UNSPSC 50355431: Frozen organic olivier de serres pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic olivier de serres pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355431, Frozen organic olivier de serres pears (Commodity), does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently being solicited under this code designation. The recent opportunities posted under this code show no instances of frozen organic olivier de serres pears or comparable specialty frozen fruit products; instead, the records reflect broad food and nutrition procurement across shelf-stable staples, fresh produce, and bulk grocery items for school lunch programs and county social services. The code appears to have been misapplied to general food-service purchasing rather than commodity-specific frozen specialty fruit.

Recent opportunities derive from school districts and county agencies in Georgia and Connecticut acquiring bulk food for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, senior services, and board of education nutrition departments. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (due October 19, 2026); the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited bids on over 1,100 grocery line items including frozen products for the Board of Education (due June 30, 2026); and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products (due June 8, 2026). The State of Georgia also posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut, with a pattern of annual school-year cycles and Buy American provision compliance requirements. No current activity specifically targets frozen organic pears or specialty frozen-fruit categories, suggesting this code assignment does not reflect the commodity's actual state and local procurement volume.
