UNSPSC 50355433: Frozen organic packham's triumph pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic packham's triumph pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355433 Frozen organic Packham's triumph pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement, yet the recent-opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific frozen pear commodity. State and local governments procure frozen produce and grocery items through broad, multi-line-item RFPs and IFBs that bundle dozens or hundreds of products—including frozen fruits—under generic categories such as "Frozen Foods and Grocery" or "Food Supply and Distribution." The code's nominal scope does not align cleanly with how school districts actually solicit: they issue line-by-line bids for comprehensive food service, where frozen pears (if stocked at all) appear as one item among 300 to 1,100 total SKUs, not as standalone procurement events. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education—Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, and the Bridgeport Board of Education—with occasional involvement of municipal purchasing on behalf of school nutrition programs.

Recent solicitation activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Connecticut and other states. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for Fresh Produce (June 26, 2026 response), which spans over 200 fresh and frozen produce line items; Rockwood R-VI School District's IFB for Grocery Items (April 29, 2026 response), covering 900+ line items including frozen products; and Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (June 8, 2026 response) for 300+ food items. Douglas County School System issued an RFP for Fresh Produce and Eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative covering 30 districts with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spend (responses due March 4, 2026). All solicitations mandate Buy American compliance (51% domestic agricultural content for processed products), HACCP plans, firm pricing with limited adjustment provisions, inclusive freight charges, and Net 30–45 delivery terms. Bid responses typically require commercial general liability insurance ($1,000,000 minimum per occurrence), E-Verify authorization, debarment certification, and three years' to five years' prior experience with public school systems. No recent state or local opportunity explicitly targets frozen Packham's triumph pears as a standalone line item; vendors pursuing this code should monitor school nutrition RFPs as one component of broader grocery-and-produce bundles rather than expect commodity-specific solicitations.
