UNSPSC 50395526: Organic keiffer pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50395526 Organic keiffer pear purees is a Commodity code for processed fruit products that state and local governments buy primarily as food service ingredients and meal components for institutional food service operations, though recent solicitation activity shows the code misaligned with actual procurement—the only canned fruit identified under this code is applesauce and dried fruit products, not pear purees specifically. State and local buyers soliciting under this code span school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and other institutional food service operations across multiple states. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017453 on July 10, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), with pricing historically around $21.84 per case; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products including processed fruits to supply state hospitals and supported living centers with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (due July 13, 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited quarterly food orders including brand-specific products (due June 17, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Southwest, with visible recent procurement from Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri. School districts represent the most frequent buyer type, with Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Austin Independent School District in Texas all soliciting fresh produce and prepared food items across multiple categories spanning the broader institutional food service spectrum. State correctional and health departments also drive demand. The code itself shows a nominal specificity (pear purees) that does not align with the actual commodity solicitations in the recent record—practitioners should verify whether pear puree products or applesauce-adjacent processed fruits meet their capabilities before pursuing; the preponderance of recent activity targets fresh and frozen produce, canned and processed fruits more broadly, and staple food service items rather than pear-specific products.
