UNSPSC 50385934: Paraiso pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385934 Paraiso pear purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity currently underway under this designation in state and local markets. Recent solicitations filed under this code—including fresh produce procurement by Hancock County Schools in Georgia, canned applesauce bids by the Oregon Department of Corrections, food and consumable supply contracts by Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and bulk food purchasing by county social services and school nutrition programs—encompass a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and dry goods rather than pear purees specifically. State and local governments are buying these items for food service operations across corrections facilities, state hospitals, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, senior services, and social services departments. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, county boards of education and county social services, independent school districts, and municipal school systems. The code's nominal scope appears misaligned with actual procurement patterns; vendors evaluating this category should treat it as a mislabeled entry and verify the correct commodity codes for fruit purees or other intended product lines before pursuing opportunities.

Recent activity shows concentrated procurement in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases per procurement, with historical pricing around $21.83–$21.84 per case, awarded to vendors including Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for school year 2026–27 under IFB #SN002-2027 with delivery to three school locations (due June 26, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for food and consumable products serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, including a March 2026 bid (due March 19) with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million and a June 2026 bid (due July 13) with prior-period value of $1.5 million; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (due October 19, 2026); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food order solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (due dates June 17 and August 24, 2026); and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic warehouse areas under IFB 304T-26-300CF with approximately 382 line items (due May 4, 2026, after extension). No representative opportunities directly addressing pear purees appear in the recent-solicitation record.
