UNSPSC 50385917: Emperor brown pear purees

The variety of pears known as emperor brown pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385917 Emperor brown pear purees is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and prepared fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations under this code show limited direct activity for pear purees specifically. The work being solicited reflects broader institutional food procurement—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, supplemental food supplies for correctional and healthcare facilities, and school nutrition services. Issuing bodies span state correctional departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), school districts ranging from small rural systems to large urban districts (Hancock County Schools, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and municipal education procurement (Bridgeport Board of Education). School districts dominate the recent opportunity volume, with multiple concurrent procurements for school year 2026-27 nutrition contracts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia.

Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with recent opportunities posted from Georgia school systems (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Texas agencies and school districts (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD, Dallas ISD), and multistate reach including Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections, two canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI school nutrition), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (state-level food procurement), and Georgia state-level solicitations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and 5% Oregon goods and resident preferences; the Douglas County School System RFP SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million respectively, due March 4, 2026; Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products including spice and ice cream lots, due April 2, 2026, for the 2026-27 school year; and the Texas HHSC Procurement IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026. Buy American requirements appear consistently across school district procurements, typically mandating 51% domestic content for processed products.
