UNSPSC 50565300: Non GMO pear purees

The type of non GMO pears known as non GMO pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565300 Non GMO pear purees is a Class code that describes shelf-stable fruit puree products for institutional food service, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code name is limited. When the code appears in state and local opportunities, it sits within a broader institutional food-service category spanning fresh produce, frozen items, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies soliciting related food-service work include state departments (corrections, health and human services, veterans affairs), county boards of education, independent school districts, county purchasing offices, and municipal education nutrition centers. Vendors in this space typically supply multiple line items across food categories rather than single-commodity specialists, and they must meet USDA standards, maintain insurance coverage (generally $1 million general liability minimum), comply with prevailing wage and prompt-payment statutes, provide references, and often acknowledge receipt of addenda and changes during Q&A cycles.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and Ohio. The Oregon Department of Corrections has issued two ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 1,904 cases and 4,760 cases respectively, with historical pricing around $21.84 per case and bids due June 2 and July 31, 2026), establishing a reference point for canned fruit procurement. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured supplemental food and consumables covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and responses due March 19, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education Nutrition Center requested bids on 115 commodity line items (including fruit and vegetable products) with responses due June 26, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia sought fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year covering over 200 line items with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026. Most food-service contracts run 12 months with renewal or extension options; pricing is typically firm for the initial term with adjustments permitted only at renewal or upon approval for market-driven changes, and awards generally go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best-value vendor across multiple awards by line item.
