UNSPSC 50385958: Williams bon chretien pear purees

The variety of pears known as williams bon chretien pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385958 Williams bon chretien pear purees is a Commodity code that frames fruit-based purees and processed pear products for institutional food service, but the recent solicitation activity under this code shows little direct relevance to the nominal scope. State and local governments are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food and consumable products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and other institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county school systems, county boards of education, and city boards of education across multiple states. The mix reflects heavy school district participation—K-12 nutrition programs account for the majority of recent postings—alongside state-level institutional feeding (prisons, hospitals, state supported living centers). Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, and Fairfax County Public Schools appear multiple times across the recent-opportunities block, signaling repeat procurement activity.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the South and Southwest: Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), and other southeastern states dominate recent postings. Oregon appears twice (Department of Corrections, canned fruit applesauce). Connecticut and Missouri (Bridgeport Board of Education, Rockwood School District) and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) round out the geographic spread. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center (prior-period value $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce covering over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 term contract spanning elementary through high schools plus distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows little recent activity aligned to pear purees specifically; state and local procurement under this nominal classification is actually driven by institutional food service demand broadly rather than by specialty fruit puree products.
