UNSPSC 50355454: Frozen organic taylors red pears

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

UNSPSC 50355454 Frozen organic taylors red pears, a Commodity code, covers fresh and frozen produce items purchased by state and local education and social-service agencies to support meal programs and food distribution. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying broad ranges of fresh produce, shelf-stable grocery staples, frozen items, dairy, proteins, and associated food-service supplies under this code—though the specific commodity name does not map closely to what is actually being solicited. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county social-service departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts and county agencies account for the bulk of activity, driven by National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program funding requirements and affiliated nutrition standards.

The geographic spread covers Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Early County Schools, Gwinnett County, and State of Georgia) and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty produce) for the 2026–27 school year with bids due June 26, 2026; Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items including breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meats subject to Buy American requirements and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, with electronic bids due June 30, 2026; and Gwinnett County's informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, canned vegetables) for the Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026. Early County Schools' June 8, 2026 bid encompasses approximately 300 food items plus 60 non-food and paper supplies across three schools. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with firm fixed pricing; award is made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often with options for multiple awards by line item or vendor.
