UNSPSC 50385902: Anjou pear purees

The variety of pears known as anjou pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385902 Anjou pear purees is a Commodity code that in recent practice captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products, canned fruit preparations, and dried fruit items for institutional food service rather than fresh anjou pears specifically. The code sees activity across school districts, state departments, counties, and corrections facilities sourcing prepared fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and commodity fruit items—for cafeteria and inmate food service. State and local procurement offices tag mixed food categories under this code when sourcing multiple shelf-stable items in bulk, often bundling fruit products with broader consumable categories. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state supported living centers, school boards, and county nutrition programs; the Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear as repeat buyers in the recent record.

Activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin Independent School District, HHSC, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education). Representative opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB on June 2, 2026, for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce with a June 2 closing and historical pricing of $21.827 per case; Hancock County Board of Education issuing an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26; and Austin Independent School District issuing an RFP on June 26, 2026, for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service delivery to the central warehouse. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB on May 19, 2026, for supplemental food and consumables encompassing 210 line items including fresh, frozen, and dry fruit and vegetable products with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years.
