UNSPSC 50395529: Organic merton pride pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50395529 Organic merton pride pear purees, a Commodity code, shows limited direct alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a specific pear product variant, yet state and local governments are purchasing broader categories of food products—canned and fresh fruits, dried items, produce, and general food service supplies—under related classifications rather than this granular commodity designation. Recent solicitations tagged to this code or closely adjacent ones span school districts, state departments, and institutional food services procuring applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and multipurpose food inventories, reflecting institutional nutrition and food service operations rather than specialty pear purees.

Issuing bodies include school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), state departments and agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts/TDCJ), and institutional food service operations (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). Geographic spread includes Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia, with concentrated activity in the South and institutional correctional and school nutrition sectors. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases with historical pricing at $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; and Douglas County School System RFP 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million and $1.1 million by area.
