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 shelf-stable fruit products, primarily applesauce and dried fruit items, procured by state corrections departments, school districts, county social services, and state health agencies for institutional food service, canteen operations, and nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations show wide sourcing of canned and processed fruit rather than the nominal code scope of organic pear puree specifically—Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted multiple ITB opportunities for canned fruit applesauce; Hancock County Board of Education and Austin Independent School District are sourcing dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh produce; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is procuring supplemental food and consumables including fruit products for state hospitals and supported living centers. State corrections systems, school nutrition operations, and state-supported residential facilities represent the primary issuing bodies under this code.

Activity concentrates in the South and Pacific Northwest, with Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois posting multiple recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce (due June 2, 2026, historical award price $21.827 per case to MJ Kellner), Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products including fruits and applesauce across five geographic distribution points (response due May 4, 2026, extended via Addendum No. 2), Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce including multiple apple varieties and berries for school year 2026-27 (due June 26, 2026), and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services (due October 19, 2026). Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 budgets $1.5 million for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026).
