UNSPSC 50565312: Non GMO conference pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565312 Non GMO conference pear purees, a Commodity code, describes processed fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, veterans homes, and social services agencies. Recent solicitations show governments buying shelf-stable canned and processed fruit items including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh and processed produce for cafeteria operations, senior services, and correctional facilities. While the code nominally specifies conference pear purees, the opportunities posted under this taxonomy reflect a broader institutional food-procurement pattern spanning canned fruits, dried fruit products, and fresh produce delivered to central distribution points or individual facility locations.

Issuing bodies include state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas), county social services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipal education and nutrition services (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut). The mix skews heavily toward institutional food service—schools, corrections, veterans homes, and state health facilities. Recent opportunities span the Southeast (Georgia, Florida), Texas, the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables due October 19, 2026 (informal written quotes); the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy for September–December 2026 (brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications, proposals due August 24, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem, Oregon beginning within 60 days, bids due July 31, 2026; and Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, proposals due July 16, 2026. Activity suggests routine replenishment purchasing on quarterly or annual cycles with FOB destination delivery and firm fixed pricing.
