UNSPSC 50395519: Organic french butter pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50395519 Organic french butter pear purees (Commodity) represents shelf-stable and refrigerated fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service — school cafeterias, senior nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, and county social services. The recent opportunities show state and local buyers treating this code broadly to cover a mix of canned fruit, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and other commodity-grade food items for bulk institutional delivery. School districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and county social services departments are the primary issuing bodies, with contracts typically awarded on lowest-price or best-value criteria after sealed-bid or RFP processes. Delivery is F.O.B. destination with firm fixed pricing across one-year terms, and vendors must meet USDA commodity standards, maintain commercial liability insurance (commonly $1 million per occurrence), provide three years of vendor references, and comply with Buy American provisions where the solicitation invokes the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Most opportunities require E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and anti-collusion affidavits.
