UNSPSC 50385933: Packham's triumph pear purees

The variety of pears known as packham's triumph pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385933 Packham's triumph pear purees, a Commodity code, has generated minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The source block contains sixteen recent opportunities tagged under this code, but only one solicitation—a February 2026 Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit pears with a March 6 response deadline—bears any plausible connection to pear-based products. The remaining fifteen opportunities soliciting under this code actually target applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, berries, broccoli, carrots, eggs, citrus, potatoes, and mixed vegetables), and broader food-service commodities for corrections facilities, school districts, state agencies, and health and human services providers. This mismatch suggests the code is either misapplied by issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions or has become a catch-all classification for diverse fruit and food commodities beyond its specific definition.

The issuing-body mix spans state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD, Douglas County School System), city governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and regional purchasing cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving thirty Georgia school districts). The geographic spread concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois. Recent opportunities use RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notice types with response dates ranging from February through July 2026. Given the code's misalignment with actual procurement scope and the absence of Packham's triumph pears specifically in any recent solicitation, pursuit under this code carries substantial specification and classification risk; business development professionals should verify actual commodity requirements directly with issuing bodies rather than rely on this code designation.
