UNSPSC 50355453: Frozen organic taylors gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50355453 Frozen organic taylors gold pears is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and frozen food items purchased by state and local food service operations, school nutrition programs, and county departments serving vulnerable populations. Recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting broad food-service categories — canned proteins, frozen produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy, grains, and prepared meal components — rather than specific branded frozen pear products. The code appears to capture food items within the larger procurement framework of school lunch programs and senior services nutrition initiatives, where jurisdictions bundle produce, proteins, condiments, and prepared foods into consolidated contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (school nutrition), county government departments serving seniors, city school districts, and state procurement offices, typically consolidating food purchasing across multiple delivery sites or school locations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where Gwinnett County solicited approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (IWQ 140229, informal written quotes due October 19, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education sought fresh produce across 200+ line items for the 2026–27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, sealed bids due June 26, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line food bids including meats, produce, dairy, and non-food supplies for school meal programs (bids due June 8, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut also posted a substantial grocery and food contract supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (electronic bids due June 30, 2026, with over 1,100 line items and Buy American compliance required). The State of Georgia posted a state-level food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 on a calendar-year basis, require Buy American domestic content thresholds, impose HACCP and food-safety compliance, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with option for split awards across multiple vendors.
