UNSPSC 50385918: Forelle pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385918 Forelle pear purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this code primarily as shelf-stable food products for institutional food service — schools, corrections facilities, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations show that purees and similar processed fruit products appear within larger food commodity procurements that bundle multiple shelf-stable items under single bids or standing supply contracts. The scope of work under this code encompasses canned and packaged fruit products, often specified by brand with "or approved equivalent" language to allow substitution, delivered to central distribution centers or facility warehouses. Issuing bodies span state corrections and health-services departments, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education. A mix of repeat buyers emerges: the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (multiple Illinois Veterans Home quarterly food contracts), the Oregon Department of Corrections (multiple applesauce ITBs), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (statewide supplemental food and consumable procurements), and independent school districts across multiple states.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative solicitations include the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' October 2026 IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned fruits and vegetables with delivery by December 7, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB covering food and consumable products for state-supported living centers with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million (HHS0017449); and the State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and kitchen products procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009) with a June 22, 2026 response deadline. Illinois Veterans Home weekly food orders (brand-specific and brand-or-equal) appear twice in the recent block (June and August 2026), indicating recurring quarterly procurement cycles. Delivery terms typically require FOB Destination with prepaid freight, three-year record retention, commercial liability insurance of $1 million per occurrence, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable under federal school lunch programs. Price adjustments are generally prohibited during initial contract terms, with award made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value criteria.
