UNSPSC 50565326: Non GMO keiffer pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565326 Non GMO keiffer pear purees is a Commodity code that captures pear-based food products procured by state and local agencies. Recent opportunities show minimal direct solicitation for Non GMO keiffer pear purees specifically; instead, the code appears incidental to broader food-service procurement across school districts, county departments, state agencies, and correctional facilities. The actual scope being solicited under or near this code spans shelf-stable and fresh food items for institutional nutrition programs, including canned fruits, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas), city education departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments of corrections and health services (Oregon, Texas, Illinois), and county social-service agencies (Gwinnett County, Georgia). Most solicitations follow standard food-service contracting patterns: firm fixed pricing per unit, FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, liability insurance ranging from $500,000 to $2 million, and award to the lowest responsive or best-value bidder.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with notable solicitations posted from Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County schools, State of Georgia), Texas (HHSC El Paso, TDCJ cafeteria items, Austin ISD), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy weekly food orders), Oregon (Department of Corrections applesauce), and Connecticut (Bridgeport Board of Education). The most recent opportunity directly relevant to fruit products is the Hancock County Board of Education fresh-produce RFP (due June 26, 2026, updated to clarify bid opening June 29, 2026) spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties and specialty fruits, awarded to the lowest responsive bidder with delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two applesauce ITBs (ITB S-29100-00017453, due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-0016975, closed June 2, 2026) for approximately 4,760 and 1,904 cases respectively, both subject to 5% Oregon-goods and 5% resident-bidder preferences. The Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumables procurement (HHS0016792V2, bid deadline March 19, 2026) encompasses 210 line items for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide with a potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years and a requirement to respond to at least 95 percent of line items. The code shows no standout incumbent or repeat-award pattern in the recent record, and no opportunities explicitly name keiffer pears or Non GMO certification as a line-item requirement.
