UNSPSC 50395557: Organic warden pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50395557 Organic warden pear purees, a Commodity code, does not match the recent state and local solicitations posted under this classification. The recent opportunities instead cover broad food procurement for institutional food service — including shelf-stable pantry staples, fresh produce, canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed food and consumable products for schools, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. The code's nominal scope (organic pear purees specifically) appears disconnected from the actual buying activity, which centers on general institutional food supply contracts where produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and kitchen consumables are the dominant line items.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county school boards, state departments of corrections and health and human services, municipal and county purchasing offices, and independent school districts across multiple states. The most recent opportunities reflect purchases by Gwinnett County (Georgia) Department of Community Services, the State of Illinois for veterans' home food service, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Austin Independent School District, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut, with scattered activity elsewhere. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County's June 2026 IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's August 2026 weekly food order solicitations (both brand-specific and brand-or-equal) for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a historical price of $21.84 per case; Austin Independent School District's July 2026 RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB covering 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables with a potential three-year value of $4.5 million.
