UNSPSC 50385941: Rosy red pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385941 Rosy red pear purees is a Commodity code with limited recent activity directly aligned to its scope — state and local governments are procuring the product under this code sparingly, but the recent-opportunities block shows heavy procurement of adjacent fruit and vegetable products across school districts, state agencies, and correctional facilities. The actual buying under this code family spans canned and fresh produce, processed fruit items, and broader grocery supplies for institutional food service. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, and Dallas ISD), state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and county school nutrition programs. The code sees steady activity across school nutrition procurement cycles, with less frequent but material buys from state correctional and health facilities. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) seeking 4,760 cases at historical pricing of $21.84 per case with Oregon goods and resident-bidder preferences totaling 10 percent, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (posted May 19, 2026, originally due March 19, 2026, extended to March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4,500,000) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and state supported living centers. Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast (Georgia school districts, Texas agencies) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections), with scattered activity in Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with annual renewal options, firm pricing requirements, and Buy American provisions mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products. Most solicitations use IFB or RFP methods with sealed bid opening and evaluation weighted toward lowest responsive, responsible bidder or best value. Insurance requirements are standard (general liability $1 million per occurrence minimum), and vendors must hold USDA compliance certifications and food safety documentation including HACCP plans and recall procedures.

No recent opportunity explicitly tagged to UNSPSC 50385941 for rosy red pear purees appears in the block — the code's nominal product name does not match any posted solicitation. All listed opportunities concern broader categories of fruit, vegetable, and food products. This mismatch signals either tagging imprecision at the issuing-body level or that rosy red pear purees, as a specific commodity, see minimal state and local procurement volume currently. Pursuit viability depends on willingness to compete for adjacent fruit and produce categories under broader family codes where the bulk of institutional food-service volume actually flows; the code itself as written does not support focused pursuit at the Commodity tier.
