UNSPSC 50565353: Non GMO taylors gold pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50565353 Non GMO Taylors gold pear purees (Commodity) covers canned and preserved fruit products, particularly applesauce and pear-based preparations, procured by state corrections departments, school nutrition programs, and state health agencies for institutional food service. Recent opportunities show state and local governments purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and supplemental food items including canned fruit products through ITBs, RFPs, and IFBs. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, and Illinois Chief Procurement Office are among recent solicitors. Issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health services, procurement offices), school districts (independent and county-level), and special-purpose institutions such as state-supported living centers. The code encompasses both individual commodity procurements and broader food service supply contracts where fruit products represent line items within larger buys. Scope varies from single-commodity ITBs (applesauce for ODOC, requesting approximately 4,760 cases) to comprehensive food service RFPs (Dallas ISD, Texas HHSC) where fruit products anchor nutrition menus alongside proteins, grains, and other staples. Historical pricing from recent ODOC awards (applesauce at $21.84 per case as of June 2026) and Texas HHSC supplemental food contracts (maximum $4,500,000 over three years) indicate mid-range to large-volume procurement scales.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued multiple complementary solicitations for supplemental and general food products serving state hospitals and living centers statewide, with estimated annual values of $1.5 million and potential three-year maximums of $4,500,000. School nutrition programs across Georgia (Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Douglas County) and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI) have solicited fresh produce and grocery items on annual cycles for the 2026-27 school year, with produce-focused contracts valued at $4.4 million (Douglas County GEC cooperative, two-area regional buy) and comprehensive grocery procurements spanning 200–900 line items. Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in February and July 2026 (S2910000016081 and S2910000017453, the latter due July 31, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. PST), both applying 10% combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-vendor preferences. Representative recent opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (4,760 cases canned applesauce, delivery in five truckloads of 952 cases each, due July 31, 2026, historical award $21.84 per case); Austin Independent School District RFP 27RFP004 (dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service, due July 16, 2026); and Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center and statewide DSHS use, due July 13, 2026, prior-period value $1.5 million). School district solicitations typically feature firm fixed pricing through the contract year with optional midterm adjustments tied to manufacturer price increases of 5% or greater and automatic renewal provisions for one to four additional years. All products must meet USDA commodity specifications, FDA/USDA standards, Buy American Act domestic-content requirements (51% minimum for processed products where applicable), and nutritional standards prohibiting artificial colors, flavors, and high-fructose corn syrup per state school nutrition guidelines. Vendors must maintain general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, demonstrate three to five years of relevant supply experience, and comply with debarment, E-Verify, and non-collusion certifications.
