UNSPSC 50385901: Abate fetel pear purees

The variety of pears known as abate fetel pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385901 Abate fetel pear purees (Commodity) does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities in the source are tagged to this code but actually solicit applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and comprehensive food-service products for schools, correctional facilities, health and human services centers, and institutional food operations. The code nominally describes a single specialized fruit product; the actual procurements under this tag span broad food and consumable supply categories with no recent instances of fetel pear purees specifically.

The issuing bodies are primarily state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools), and county boards of education across Georgia. Recent activity concentrates in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, due July 31, 2026), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026). School districts typically issue IFBs or RFPs on annual cycles for school-year supply, with contract terms running July 1 through June 30 and response dates clustered in spring months. Buy American requirements are standard; preferences for domestic agricultural commodities appear in most school nutrition procurements. The code's mismatch with actual buying activity suggests either miscoding at the issuing-body level or use of this commodity code as a catch-all placeholder for diverse food-service procurements.
