UNSPSC 50395538: Organic red d'anjou pear purees

The variety of organic pears known as organic red d'anjou pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50395538 Organic red d'anjou pear purees is a Commodity code that encompasses packaged fruit products for institutional food service, including applesauces, dried fruit items, and fresh produce supplied to schools, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. The recent opportunities tagged under this code reflect substantial mismatch between the nominal code definition and actual procurement activity — solicitations for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce (apples, pears, berries, vegetables), and bulk grocery staples dominate the recent record, with pear purees appearing only nominally in Oregon's February 2026 canned fruit pears ITB. State and local issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas ISD, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut). School districts and state agencies are the dominant repeat buyers, with school nutrition programs accounting for the plurality of recent solicitations.

Activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, priced historically at $21.84 per case with a 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-vendor preference; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (apples, berries, vegetables) due June 26, 2026, with Buy American domestic-content minimums; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026. The Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for main-line food supply and distribution estimates annual expenditure at approximately $9 million across 32 schools serving 25,500 students, with a February 18, 2026 deadline. Pricing in school nutrition contracts is typically firm for the contract period (usually July through June annually) with limited midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater. State and local buyers consistently apply Buy American and domestic-content requirements, maintain liability insurance minimums of $1 million, and use cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative) to aggregate demand across multiple districts.
