UNSPSC 50385946: Sensation pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385946 Sensation pear purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited by state and local governments under this designation. The recent opportunities record shows procurement activity tagged to this code comprises canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, grocery staples, and food service supplies—none of which are pear purees. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual goods being purchased suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement systems or that the code itself is rarely used to reflect its stated product line. No recent solicitations explicitly name sensation pear purees or pear-based products.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), municipal food service operations (City of Bridgeport Connecticut), and regional buying cooperatives serving multiple districts. The geographic spread centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia, with additional activity across Illinois and multiple states served through state-level centralized purchasing. The procurement mix emphasizes volume food service delivery for institutional feeding programs rather than specialty or branded products, with contracts typically spanning twelve-month periods, firm fixed pricing, FOB destination terms, and award to lowest responsive bidder or best-value determinations. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026; Dallas Independent School District RFP JC250079 for various food products including spice and ice cream lots due April 2, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide serving state hospitals and supported living centers. The code shows little actionable recent activity aligned to its stated product definition.
