UNSPSC 50355445: Frozen organic seckel pears

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

UNSPSC 50355445 Frozen organic seckel pears is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school districts and county agencies supporting nutrition programs. The recent opportunities show that state and local buyers are sourcing frozen and fresh produce as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone line items for a single pear variety. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, and the State of Georgia have all posted solicitations that bundle frozen or fresh produce within larger food and nutrition services contracts. The work being solicited includes shelf-stable and frozen food items, fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and related supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and institutional feeding operations. Issuing bodies are primarily school district nutrition departments and county social services agencies, with one state-level procurement from Georgia. All recent solicitations emphasize Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products), USDA compliance, nutritional standards including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, HACCP certification, E-Verify authorization, and delivery to multiple designated school or institutional sites on firm fixed pricing with no separate fuel surcharges.
