UNSPSC 50385919: French butter pear purees

The variety of pears known as french butter pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385919 French butter pear purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable fruit products, particularly prepared fruit purees and processed fruit items sourced for institutional food service. State and local governments procure these products primarily through school districts, county nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments to supply cafeterias, senior centers, and facility dining operations. Recent solicitations show activity spanning fresh-produce purchasing through processed fruit items including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and general commodity food supplies—indicating that the nominal code scope (French butter pear purees) is far narrower than the institutional fruit-product procurement actually tagged under it. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, city boards of education, and county departments of community services. School districts represent the largest share of recent issuers, with repeat activity from state corrections and state health agencies.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026 for fresh produce spanning 200-plus line items for the 2026–27 school year, due June 26, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (May 18 and July 10, 2026, both due within two weeks of posting), representing the most narrowly scoped recent opportunities under this code at approximately 1,900–4,760 cases each, with historical pricing near $21.83 per case and a standing 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center on June 11, 2026 (due July 13), with a historical value of $1.5 million annually and potential contract value of $3 million across a three-year term. The Austin Independent School District issued an RFP on June 26, 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026, with brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants. Geographic concentration leans toward the Southeast and Southwest (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) with secondary activity in Oregon and Illinois; no clear standout state dominates recent volume.
