UNSPSC 50355435: Frozen organic passe crasanne pears

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

UNSPSC 50355435 Frozen organic passe crasanne pears, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between the code's narrow product specification and the recent state and local procurement activity actually being solicited under it. State and local governments are not currently buying frozen organic passe crasanne pears as a standalone line item; instead, the code's recent postings reflect broad food-procurement solicitations spanning dozens or hundreds of food categories including fresh produce, shelf-stable groceries, dairy, proteins, and school nutrition products. The work being solicited is primarily school lunch and nutrition-program food supply contracting, senior services meal support, and general institutional food provisioning. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Early County Board of Education in Georgia), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). These buyers issue IFBs and RFQs with response dates typically six to eight weeks after posting and pricing evaluated on a line-item or per-unit-of-measure basis, with awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings. Gwinnett County (Georgia) posted an RFQ on October 13, 2026, due October 19, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, specifying 35 line items and F.O.B. destination delivery within 72 hours. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year, with delivery to three school locations. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted a bid on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, subject to Buy American provisions and nutritional compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, with central warehouse and school-site delivery. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a bid on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, for 300+ food items plus non-food supplies across three schools. The State of Georgia posted a solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with limited detail available in the posting. The mismatch between the Commodity code's specific product name and the actual scope of work solicited suggests the code may be mislabeled in the source data or applied overly broadly to encompass institutional food procurement across all product categories rather than frozen organic passe crasanne pears specifically.
