UNSPSC 50565348: Non GMO stark crimson pear purees

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO stark crimson pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565348 Non GMO stark crimson pear purees is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single product line, yet recent state and local solicitations using this code span a broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food products for institutional food service, from canned applesauce and dried fruit bars to fresh produce and processed food commodities. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments (Illinois, Oregon, Texas), city procurement offices, and county social services agencies. School districts and state-operated facilities (corrections, veterans homes, state-supported living centers) represent the dominant buyer segments, with purchases driven by nutrition programs, inmate food service, and senior services. The work involves competitive bidding on standardized food commodities, typically with brand-or-equivalent specifications, firm fixed pricing on a per-unit basis, FOB destination delivery, and strict compliance with USDA grades, FDA standards, and Buy American provisions where applicable. Recent opportunities show issuing bodies reserving the right to award to single or multiple vendors by line item and requiring bidders to maintain liability insurance, E-Verify authorization, HACCP plans, and vendor performance references.

Recent activity spans multiple states with concentration in Georgia (Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Texas (state and local agencies including Austin Independent School District, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items with an October 19, 2026 quote deadline under informal written quote (IWQ); the State of Illinois soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with proposals due August 24, 2026 under brand-or-equal and brand-specific tracks; the Oregon Department of Corrections soliciting approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce under ITB with bids due July 31, 2026; and Austin Independent School District soliciting dried fruit bars and apple crisps under RFP with proposals due July 16, 2026. Geographic spread reflects routine procurement activity across the South, Midwest, and Pacific Northwest, with no single jurisdiction dominating the code's recent activity block.
