UNSPSC 50385956: Tosca pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385956 Tosca pear purees (Commodity) describes a specific processed fruit product, but the recent state and local contract opportunities do not include direct solicitations for Tosca pear purees. Instead, the code shows activity in broader fresh and processed fruit procurements for institutional food service — specifically canned applesauce, dried fruit bars and apple crisps, fresh produce including multiple apple varieties, and mixed commodity food products for schools, corrections facilities, state supported living centers, and senior services. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related fruit and produce categories include county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Austin Independent School District), state departments of corrections (Oregon, Texas), state health and human services agencies (Illinois Veterans Home, Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), county social services departments (Gwinnett County), municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport), and state procurement offices. These buyers purchase shelf-stable and fresh produce repeatedly throughout the fiscal year, typically on 12-month contracts with quarterly or monthly ordering flexibility.

Recent activity centers in the Southeast and Southwest, with visible solicitation volume from Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned fruit applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historical pricing); Texas HHSC issued a broad supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items with a three-year potential value of $4.5 million (HHS0016792V2, due March 19, 2026); Gwinnett County (Georgia) requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned products (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026); and Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Fruit and produce categories consistently carry Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic content for processed products) and state-level preferences (Oregon's 5 percent combined state-goods and resident-bidder preference). The code shows limited direct Tosca pear puree activity; vendors pursuing this UNSPSC line should monitor broader fruit preserve, canned fruit, and processed-produce RFQs and ITBs from state corrections, education, and health agencies.
