UNSPSC 50565352: Non GMO sunsprite pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565352 Non GMO sunsprite pear purees (Commodity) describes shelf-stable and fresh fruit products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, state hospitals, and community support operations. The code captures one narrow product type (sunsprite pear purees), but the recent solicitations tagged under it show that state and local buyers are actually purchasing a far broader range of fruit and vegetable items: canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce (apples, berries, melons, citrus, leafy greens, specialty fruits), and mixed food and consumable supplies for cafeterias and food service operations. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections, health and human services, and education agencies; county boards of education; city school districts; and county social services departments. Repeat buyers include the State of Illinois (multiple quarterly food solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce procurements), and Texas state agencies serving corrections and health facilities.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast, Pacific Northwest, and Southwest, with the most visible activity in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County schools, State of Georgia), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent solicitations include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (posted October 13, 2026; due October 19, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for an estimated 4,760 cases of canned applesauce delivered to Salem (due July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. PST, with a 5% Oregon-goods preference and 5% resident-bidder preference); and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with a historical annual spend of $1.5 million (proposals due July 13, 2026). Austin Independent School District issued an RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (due July 16, 2026), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut requested bids for commodities including fruit and vegetable products for the Board of Education Nutrition Center under MBE/CBE provisions (due June 26, 2026). Buyers typically require firm pricing, FOB destination delivery within stated timeframes (45 to 72 hours common), compliance with USDA/FDA standards and Buy American provisions where applicable, and proof of liability insurance.
