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

UNSPSC 50565327 Non GMO kings royal pear purees, a Commodity code, covers shelf-stable and fresh fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and state supported living centers. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce including apples and mixed fruit, and broader food commodity bundles that include fruit products alongside proteins, dairy, and dry goods. The issuing-body mix spans state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of corrections), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD in Texas), municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized state facilities (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center). School districts and state corrections and human services agencies are the dominant buyers under this code.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and West, with recent opportunities posted by Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (State Chief Procurement Office), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ) for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including fruit products, due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case historical pricing, due July 31, 2026; Austin Independent School District requesting proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026; and Texas HHSC requesting bids on food and consumable products for state supported living centers, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually, due July 13, 2026. State and local buyers typically enforce Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), require FOB destination delivery with prepaid freight, maintain firm pricing for contract terms, and prefer brand-or-equal specifications that allow equivalent products meeting functional and quality parity.
