UNSPSC 50385920: Glou morceau pear purees

The variety of pears known as glou morceau pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385920 Glou morceau pear purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are buying under this code. Recent solicitations tagged to this Commodity show a broad procurement pattern around canned and fresh fruit products, applesauce, dried fruit items, and fresh produce—categories that span far beyond the specific "glou morceau pear purees" product name. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and a city board of education, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of activity. Oregon's Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia and Missouri school districts appear repeatedly in the recent opportunities block, signaling sustained demand from institutional food service operations. The work being solicited ranges from standardized commodity purchases (applesauce, canned fruit meeting USDA 2011 specifications) to specialized fresh produce and processed food items that school districts and state facilities source through IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Texas state agencies) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), with secondary activity in Missouri and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical price $21.84 per case, FOB destination); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (multiple apple varieties, berries, root vegetables) due June 26, 2026; and Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 across 45 schools and distribution kitchens, due April 27, 2026. School lunch and institutional food service procurement under this code emphasizes Buy American compliance, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with USDA commodity and nutritional standards. The code's nominal commodity scope does not align cleanly with recent procurement patterns—it functions as a catch-all category for fruit-based food products rather than a specialized pear purée market.
