UNSPSC 50385908: Bosc pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385908 Bosc pear purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity directly aligned with its stated scope. State and local governments procuring under this code are soliciting preserved fruit products—specifically canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—for institutional food service across corrections facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state institutions. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), and special-purpose districts and cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative). School nutrition programs and institutional food service dominate the recent procurement mix, with canned fruit, fresh produce, and packaged grocery items appearing across multiple simultaneous solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued back-to-back ITBs for canned applesauce in May 2026 (S2910000016975, due June 2) and July 2026 (S2910000017453, due July 31), with the latter specifying 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case and applying Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preferences totaling 10 percent. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Liberty County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Virginia (Fairfax County) are actively soliciting fresh produce and processed foods for the 2026-27 school year through RFPs and IFBs with response deadlines concentrated in April and June 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two overlapping procurements—HHS0016792 (due February 23, 2026; extended from February 16) and HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026)—covering food and consumable products for state supported living centers with estimated historical values of $1.5 million to $4.5 million. The code shows no recent opportunities bearing the specific product name "Bosc pear purees," suggesting either minimal state and local procurement demand for this commodity in isolation or misclassification of the code assignment in the source data.
