UNSPSC 50385937: Red bartlett pear purees

The variety of pears known as red bartlett pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385937 Red bartlett pear purees is a Commodity code representing a narrowly specified fruit puree product, yet the recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect purchasing of red bartlett pear purees specifically. Instead, the activity shows school districts, state correctional and health agencies, and nutrition departments across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri procuring broad categories of canned fruit, fresh produce, dried fruit products, and comprehensive food service supplies through ITBs, RFPs, and IFBs. The Oregon Department of Corrections and Dallas Independent School District exemplify the issuing-body mix: state agencies managing institutional food service procure canned applesauce, fresh produce, and mixed grocery inventories; school districts and county boards of education dominate the volume, sourcing fresh produce contracts worth millions annually and seasonal grocery line items spanning hundreds of SKUs. The code shows little activity aligned to its nominal scope—red bartlett pear purees do not appear in any of the representative solicitations, signaling either a mismatch between the code tag and actual procurement needs or minimal recent demand for this specific commodity at the state and local level.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southeast and South—Georgia, Texas, and Florida school systems and state agencies post the highest volume of recent fresh produce and food service supply opportunities. Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri round out the active regions. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) at approximately $21.84 per case with five truck-load deliveries, and Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services across 32 schools (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026). These solicitations demonstrate that state and local procurement under this code tier is concentrated in institutional food service—correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported living centers—with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, multiple-vendor awards, and compliance demands including Buy American provisions, insurance, and USDA commodity standards.
