UNSPSC 50355434: Frozen organic paraiso pears

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

UNSPSC 50355434 Frozen organic paraiso pears is a Commodity code that maps to school nutrition procurement in state and local jurisdictions, though the recent opportunity record does not contain solicitations specifically for this product line. The code's nominal scope—frozen organic paraiso pears as a discrete SKU—does not align with the actual purchasing pattern visible in recent state and local food-service opportunities. School districts, county boards of education, and municipal school systems are instead issuing broad grocery and frozen-foods solicitations that span hundreds of line items across breakfast items, cereals, baked goods, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snack items, beverages, and meat products. Individual produce items like organic paraiso pears, when present, are embedded within larger fresh-produce or frozen-foods contracts rather than procured as standalone commodity orders. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System) supported by state-level purchasing (Georgia) and cooperative-buying entities (GEC Buying Cooperative).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery-items solicitation (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) spanning over 1,100 line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB (#SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and the Douglas County School System's cooperative RFP (SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million. All contracts run July 1 through June 30 annually, require Buy American compliance (51 percent domestic content minimum), HACCP plans, firm fixed pricing including transportation with no separate fuel surcharges, and delivery Monday through Friday to multiple school sites. The code shows minimal direct procurement activity for frozen organic paraiso pears as a named line item; vendors pursuing this commodity should expect it to be one SKU within larger frozen-foods or produce line-item bids rather than a standalone contract opportunity.
