UNSPSC 50385904: Bartlett pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385904 Bartlett pear purees (Commodity) covers processed pear products that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service programs. Recent opportunities under this code show minimal direct activity; the source records one archived Oregon opportunity for canned fruit pears (February 2026, due March 6) with incomplete documentation. The broader code environment reveals that state and local buyers soliciting under related UNSPSC categories—fresh produce, canned fruits, and institutional food products—are schools, state departments, and county boards of education, with occasional state agency facilities (corrections, health and human services) also represented. School districts dominate the volume, issuing competitive bids for fresh and processed produce to support child nutrition programs across elementary, middle, and high schools.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, where school districts and state agencies have posted 15+ opportunities in the first six months of 2026. Representative solicitations in adjacent commodity families show the pattern: Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (canned applesauce, 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026) and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables for state supported living centers, food service scope under NIGP classes 380, 385, 390, 393, due July 13, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) IFB #SN002-2027 solicited fresh produce across 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) RFP 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative sought fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined (March 4, 2026). The code itself sees light recent activity; competitors should monitor school nutrition and state institutional food service RFPs and ITBs where canned or processed fruit products appear as line items within larger commodity buys, rather than expect standalone Bartlett puree solicitations.
