UNSPSC 50565351: Non GMO sun gold pear purees

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO sun gold pears which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50565351 Non GMO sun gold pear purees is a Commodity code covering ready-to-use fruit purees and applesauce products procured by state and local governments for food service operations — primarily institutional kitchens, school nutrition programs, and senior or congregate meal delivery. The code sees activity from state departments (corrections, health and human services), county boards of education, city school districts, and county social services agencies. State and local buyers source these items as shelf-stable, nutrient-dense components for meal preparation, often specifying USDA commodity compliance, minimum shelf life, and brand-or-equal substitution language to ensure supply flexibility and cost control.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with the most visible recent solicitations from Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an IFQ on October 13, 2026 (due October 19) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned fruits for senior services delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted successive ITBs for canned fruit applesauce in May and July 2026, each requesting approximately 1,900 to 4,760 cases for delivery to Salem with USDA 2011 commodity compliance, FOB destination pricing, and a historical unit rate around $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB in May 2026 covering supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million and a requirement to respond to a minimum of 95 percent of 210 specified line items. Austin Independent School District posted an RFP in June 2026 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple quarterly brand-specific and brand-or-equal food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026. Competition emphasizes lowest responsive bidder awards, firm fixed pricing (often remaining locked for annual contract terms), USDA grade compliance, delivery within 45 to 72 hours, and minimum $1 million commercial liability insurance.
