UNSPSC 50565331: Non GMO olivier de serres pear purees

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO olivier de serres pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565331, Non GMO olivier de serres pear purees, is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work state and local governments are currently soliciting under this classification. Recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code are purchasing a broad range of shelf-stable and fresh food products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, poultry, cheese, frozen entrees, grains, condiments, and consumable supplies—for school districts, county nutrition programs, state departments of corrections, state hospitals, state supported living centers, and other institutional food service operations. The code's narrow product name (olivier de serres pears) does not align with the diverse commodity purchases actually being made, suggesting either a data-entry mismatch or a catch-all classification for institutional food procurement that extends well beyond the specific pear variety named in the code description.

Issuing bodies include state procurement offices (Illinois Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home Quincy, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Georgia), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut via City of Bridgeport), and state prison systems (Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller). Recent activity is concentrated in the South and West, with multiple opportunities in Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut posted between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County's IFB for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases) due July 31, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide (210 line items) due March 19, 2026; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for 2026-27 (over 200 line items) due June 26, 2026. Most awards are made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a per-unit basis, with some jurisdictions reserving the right to split awards by line item or make multiple awards.
