UNSPSC 50385924: Juno pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385924 Juno pear purees, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity specifically for pear purees. The recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly solicit broad food-service categories—shelf-stable staples, fresh produce, canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and institutional cafeteria and consumables—rather than the specific commodity of pear purees. The one opportunity that names a pear product specifically (Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement) does not reference purees, and no recent solicitation explicitly requests Juno pear purees or pear purees of any brand. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under or near this code span state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia), counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), municipalities (City of Bridgeport), school districts (Austin Independent School District), and state institutions (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, Texas TDCJ facilities, ODOC facilities, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). These buyers issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for food service on recurring cycles, with purchases ranging from thousands to millions of dollars annually.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut based on recent solicitations. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce procurements (May and July 2026, ITBs), with historical awards at $21.82–$21.84 per case for approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases. Texas entities—HHSC (supplemental food and consumables, May 2026, IFB, maximum potential value $4.5 million over three years) and TDCJ (cafeteria food products, May 2026, IFB extended to May 4)—solicit institutional food in large volumes. Georgia (Hancock County schools fresh produce, June 2026, IFB) and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education commodities, June 2026, IFB) also posted food service bids. Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy issued multiple weekly food-order solicitations under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specs (June and August 2026). The code itself does not report recent demand specifically for pear purees; firms evaluating this code should treat it as a quiet category and monitor whether future solicitations in school nutrition or state institutional dining programs name pear purees or puree products by brand.
