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 does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the source material. The code's nominal scope—non-GMO pear purees with specific varietal designation—appears to describe a narrowly specialized product, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, food service supplies, and mixed grocery items for institutional food service across school districts, corrections facilities, and health and human services agencies. The mismatch between the code name and the actual goods being procured suggests either miscoding at the issuing body level or that the code has been applied to capture a broader food commodities category that extends well beyond pear purees.

The issuing bodies pursuing contracts in this category span diverse state and local jurisdictions: school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Department of Criminal Justice), a municipal education body (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and regional cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia districts). School districts represent the largest and most consistent buyer segment. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, specifying 4,760 cases with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon preference; Austin Independent School District's RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for mixed food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, due March 4, 2026. Buy American provisions appear consistently across school district procurements, requiring domestic content or processing; prevailing wage obligations apply in select jurisdictions; and insurance minimums typically range from $1 million to $2 million in general commercial liability. Pricing is normally firm fixed for the contract term, with quarterly or line-item deliveries to multiple school or facility locations. The code shows substantial recent activity, but the product descriptions in posted solicitations do not match the nominal UNSPSC scope of pear purees.
