UNSPSC 50385938: Red d'anjou pear purees

The variety of pears known as red d'anjou pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385938 Red d'anjou pear purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged to this code involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, eggs, and bulk food service items for institutional feeding — none of which are red d'anjou pear purees or pear-based products. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted an ITB on July 10, 2026, for canned applesauce (4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with historical contract values reaching $4.5 million over three years. These solicitations reflect commodity food procurement for institutional cafeterias, food service warehouses, and school nutrition programs — work that is routine and continuous across state corrections departments, school districts, and health and human services agencies, but none specific to pear purees. The code shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and recent procurement activity.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois, with school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Hancock County Schools, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Douglas County), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipalities (Bridgeport, Connecticut) all posting bulk food service opportunities. Response dates span March through July 2026. Because the code's nominal product — red d'anjou pear purees — does not appear in any of the recent solicitations and the opportunities reflect broader institutional food provisioning rather than a focused pear-puree market, this classification does not support targeted pursuit for vendors specializing in pear products or purees.
