UNSPSC 50355438: Frozen organic red d'anjou pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic red d'anjou pears that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50355438 Frozen organic red d'anjou pears is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable and frozen food items—primarily through school nutrition programs and senior services departments—as part of broader food purchasing contracts that bundle produce, dairy, proteins, and non-food supplies. The code sees activity from school districts (operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs), county boards of education, senior services departments, and state procurement offices. Issuing bodies typically solicit line-item bids for calendar-year or fiscal-year food supply contracts with delivery to central warehouses and subordinate school or service sites, often bundling frozen items with fresh produce, meats, dairy, and paper goods in a single IFB or RFQ rather than soliciting frozen fruits in isolation.
