UNSPSC 50395549: Organic summer bartlett pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50395549 Organic summer bartlett pear purees (Commodity) describes a narrow food product, but the recent state and local solicitations show no procurement activity specifically for organic bartlett pear purees. Instead, the code's recent-opportunities block contains bids for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, general food supply contracts, fresh produce, and weekly grocery orders—none of which target the specific commodity named in the code. The geographic spread of activity spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois, with issuing bodies including state departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, independent school districts, county school systems, and municipal education agencies. A representative recent opportunity is Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453, posted July 10, 2026, with bids due July 31, 2026, requesting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (sweetened or unsweetened, smooth or chunky) delivered to ODOC's Central Distribution Center in Salem in five full truck loads, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and an Oregon goods preference of up to 10 percent combined.

The recent opportunities reflect state and local procurement of shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional food service—corrections departments, state supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and state hospital systems are the primary buyers. School districts dominate the activity, with numerous 2026-27 school-year contracts for fresh produce, grocery items, and specialty food products solicited through IFB and RFP methods across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Illinois. State health and human services agencies in Texas procure supplemental foods for state hospitals and supported living centers under large-scale contracts with historical values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million. The code shows little affinity to its nominal scope (organic bartlett pear purees); it appears to be a catch-all taxonomy designation for general fruit preserves, purees, or processed fruit products rather than a category actively used to tag organic-specific procurement. No opportunities directly solicit organic bartlett pear purees, and firms targeting this code would be better served monitoring school nutrition RFPs and state health and human services food supply bids where fresh, frozen, and canned fruit items (apples, berries, pears, specialty items) appear as line items within broader grocery or produce contracts.
