UNSPSC 50565329: Non GMO merton pride pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565329 Non GMO merton pride pear purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure primarily as canned and fresh fruit products for institutional food service—specifically applesauce, fresh produce, and prepared fruit items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services residential centers. Recent solicitations show little activity directly matching the code's nominal description of merton pride pear purees; instead, issuing bodies across the South and West are sourcing broader fruit categories including canned applesauce, fresh apples and pears, dried fruit bars, and mixed produce. School districts and state health agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with corrections departments and regional food service cooperatives also active. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple Georgia school districts (Hancock County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, and Savannah-Chatham County) have posted opportunities in the past four months, alongside Austin Independent School District and Dallas Independent School District in Texas, the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia.

Activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District) and broader multistate procurements through the State of Illinois and Texas TDCJ. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 at $21.84 per case historical pricing; Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for over 200 line items of fresh produce including apples and berries due June 26, 2026; and Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for approximately 72 line items of fresh produce and eggs estimated at $5.5 million annually across 30 participating districts due March 4, 2026. Most school nutrition procurements require Buy American certification with 51 percent domestic content for processed items, firm fixed pricing for full contract periods, and delivery to multiple school sites or central warehouses. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options of one to three years, and awards are frequently made to lowest responsive bidders or on a line-item basis to multiple vendors.
