UNSPSC 50395508: Organic bosc pear purees

The variety of organic pears known as organic bosc pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395508 Organic bosc pear purees (Commodity) covers canned and processed fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show little direct activity targeting organic bosc pear purees specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities reflect broader institutional fruit procurement spanning canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and general food supply contracts for corrections facilities, schools, and health and human services agencies. State and local buyers posting under this code include the Oregon Department of Corrections, school districts (Austin ISD in Texas; Hancock County Schools in Georgia; Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Liberty County in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County and Muscogee County in Georgia; Douglas County Schools in Georgia), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the City of Bridgeport Connecticut Board of Education, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (through the Comptroller of Public Accounts), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office. These buyers are repeat solicitors of food products under cooperative and direct-bid vehicles, particularly school districts conducting annual nutrition program procurement cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest—Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD), Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools), and Connecticut—with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon Department of Corrections), the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri school districts), and mid-Atlantic (Virginia school districts). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, requiring delivery to Salem at $21.84 per case (historical pricing) with 5% Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquarters preferences; the Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with bid opening June 26, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 schools due April 27, 2026; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with a prior contract value of approximately $1.5 million annually. Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content for processed products) and firm fixed pricing are standard across these solicitations, with most running annual contract terms and evaluating on lowest responsive, responsible bid or best-value criteria.
