UNSPSC 50565302: Non GMO anjou pear purees

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO anjou pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565302 Non GMO anjou pear purees, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and fresh fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations at schools, corrections facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including pears and other fruits, and supplemental food and consumable products across multiple categories rather than pear purees specifically. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and city nutrition centers. These jurisdictions typically procure under IFB, RFP, or informal written quote processes with responses due within two to eight weeks of posting. Awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or based on best value, often permitting single or multiple awards by line item. Vendors must meet USDA standards, maintain commercial liability insurance typically ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, provide references, comply with Buy American provisions where applicable, and submit firm fixed pricing that covers all delivery and transportation charges on an FOB Destination basis.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states, with the highest concentration in school district and state corrections operations. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce procurement (IFB, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fruits and vegetables delivered to three school sites across Georgia; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables IFB (due March 19, 2026, maximum potential value $4,500,000 over three years) covering 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide; Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB (due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case) for approximately 4,760 cases delivered to Salem with a 5% combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; and Austin Independent School District's dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP (due July 16, 2026) for central warehouse delivery. The code shows substantial activity but little evidence of specific pear puree procurement in the recent sample—the actual opportunities under this code appear to span broader fruit and consumable categories.
