UNSPSC 50385954: Taylors red pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385954 Taylors red pear purees, a Commodity code, sees sparse state and local procurement activity grounded in recent opportunities that mismatch the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities block captures food service procurement from state departments, school districts, and other agencies, but none of the posted solicitations specifically target pear purees—the opportunities instead cover canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, general food supply contracts, and supplemental food and consumables for institutional food service. One February 2026 Oregon Department of Corrections opportunity nominally titled "Fruit Pears" lacks substantive documentation to confirm whether it addresses pear purees or another pear product. The code shows little relevant recent activity; issuing bodies soliciting under tangentially related food codes span state corrections departments, school districts (Austin ISD, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham County, Dallas ISD, Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Douglas County), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC for state hospitals and supported living centers), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). None of the documented opportunities target the specific commodity this code nominally names.

Geographic activity across the documented food service procurements concentrates in Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD), Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), and secondary presence in Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, Missouri, and Florida. The most recent and substantial opportunity of tangential relevance is the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792V2 posted May 19, 2026, due March 19, 2026 (note: due date appears historical), procuring supplemental food and consumable products including fruits and vegetables across 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Similarly, the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026, requested 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at approximately $21.84 per case, delivered to Salem. Because no recent solicitation explicitly targets pear purees as a deliverable, prospecting under this code carries limited signal. Firms with state and local food service relationships should monitor corrections and institutional nutrition procurement more broadly under adjacent commodity codes capturing canned fruits and prepared produce.
