UNSPSC 50565338: Non GMO red d'anjou pear purees

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO red d'anjou pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565338 Non GMO red d'anjou pear purees is a Commodity code representing processed fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—specifically purees, sauces, and similar fruit preparations for cafeteria, corrections, and school nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show significant divergence from the nominal scope: the primary recent opportunities involve canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and broad food-service commodity buys rather than pear purees specifically. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, school districts across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut, and other institutional food-service buyers are soliciting fruit products and broader food supplies, but opportunities explicitly tagged to pear purees are sparse in the recent posting record. When fruit-processing opportunities do appear—such as the Oregon DOC applesauce bids and the Texas HHSC supplemental food procurements—they typically involve canned or prepared fruit products meeting USDA commodity specifications, firm fixed pricing per case or unit, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with federal food safety standards.

The issuing-body mix spans state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC), school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Dallas ISD, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hancock County, Austin ISD), and regional education cooperatives (Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative), with school nutrition programs dominating the recent activity. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, and Connecticut, reflecting institutional food-service procurement cycles aligned to school-year budgets and correctional facility supply contracts. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce with responses due July 31, 2026 (4,760 cases at $21.84 per case historical pricing, FOB destination to Salem with 5% Oregon-vendor preferences), the Texas HHSC IFB HHS0016792 for supplemental food and consumables statewide with a bid response due February 23, 2026 (210 line items, up to $4.5 million over three years), and multiple school-district produce and grocery solicitations (Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 due April 27, 2026; Rockwood School District grocery items due April 29, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume but weak current demand specifically for pear purees; business development should monitor broader fruit-processing and prepared-food categories under related UNSPSC codes rather than expect consistent pear-puree opportunities under this commodity designation.
