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

UNSPSC 50385939 Rocha pear purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much wider range of shelf-stable, frozen, fresh, and refrigerated food products supplied to state and local institutions—including schools, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans homes, and state health facilities—rather than rocha pear purees specifically. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce, cafeteria staples (proteins, dairy, grains, condiments, canned vegetables), and mixed food and consumable products under this or closely related codes. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Gwinnett County in Georgia), city purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and correctional-system procurement offices (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Repeat buyers include the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide).

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest, with recent opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso facility, TDCJ), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport).
