UNSPSC 50385956 Tosca pear purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure canned fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity under this code shows minimal direct alignment with the specific commodity name. School districts, state correctional and health facilities, and county boards of education represent the primary issuing bodies, sourcing canned and fresh fruit products as part of broader food-service procurement. The work being solicited encompasses canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and supplemental food products delivered to central warehouses and individual school or facility locations. Pricing is quoted on a per-unit or per-case basis with firm, fixed pricing maintained throughout the contract term, and all transportation and delivery costs are included in bid submissions on an FOB destination basis. Vendors must comply with USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA food safety standards, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products, and minimum insurance requirements ranging from $1 million to $2 million in commercial general liability coverage.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with solicitations posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas school districts (Dallas, Austin), Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Missouri's Rockwood School District.
