UNSPSC 50565341: Non GMO rosy red pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565341 Non GMO rosy red pear purees (Commodity) covers shelf-stable and fresh fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show limited direct targeting of pear purees specifically. Instead, jurisdictions are procuring broader categories of fresh produce, canned fruits, and prepared food items that fall within the general family scope but do not isolate pear-based products. The code appears to serve state departments, county boards of education, municipal school districts, and correctional facilities seeking to source food commodities for nutrition programs, senior services, and inmate feeding operations. Purchasing is handled primarily through IFB, RFQ, and RFP mechanisms with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination terms, and compliance requirements for USDA grades, shelf life, packaging, and food safety standards including HACCP plans and E-Verify authorization.

Recent activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the most visible opportunities posted by the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce ITBs in May and July 2026), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office (weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, multiple solicitations June through August 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia (shelf-stable food items RFQ, October 2026), Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (fresh produce IFB, June 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food and consumables IFB with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million, May 2026), and Austin Independent School District in Texas (dried fruit bars and apple crisps RFP, July 2026). The Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted broad food commodity solicitations in June and May 2026 respectively. No recent opportunities explicitly name non-GMO pear purees as a line item; the code shows general produce and processed food procurement activity but limited demand visibility for the specific commodity.
