UNSPSC 50565303: Non GMO asian pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565303 Non GMO asian pear purees is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed fruit products purchased by state and local food-service and nutrition programs. State and local governments procure this code for school nutrition, corrections facilities, health and human services centers, senior services programs, and other institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show a mix of shelf-stable canned fruit products, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and supplemental food items flowing through this taxonomy tier, though the recent opportunities block does not isolate asian pear purees as a discrete line item. Rather, pears and pear products appear as components of broader food supply contracts: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state supported living centers (210 line items, bid deadline March 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, bid deadline June 2, 2026); and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning multiple fruit varieties (June 26, 2026 bid opening). Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas HHS, Oregon DOC, Illinois), county and municipal school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county governments (Gwinnett County), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy).

Activity is distributed across multiple regions with concentration in the South and West. Recent opportunities originate from Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (state office, Veterans Home), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Ohio. The representative opportunities show institutional buyers with recurring quarterly or annual food contracts: Gwinnett County's informal written quote (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of food items due October 19, 2026, to the Department of Community Services; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal tracks, August 24, 2026 deadline); and the Texas Comptroller's IFB for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations (May 4, 2026 deadline extended from April 21). Buy American provisions (minimum 51% domestic content for processed goods) and state-level set-asides or preferences (Oregon's 10% combined preference for in-state goods and bidders; Texas SmartBuy administrative fees) are standard. Award methods favor lowest responsive bidder or best value; split awards and multiple vendors per contract are common.
