UNSPSC 50325402: Dried anjou pears

The variety of pears known as anjou pears that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325402 Dried anjou pears is a Commodity code covering single dried-pear products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional foodservice operations. The recent solicitations show school districts and correctional facilities buying dried pears as line items within larger fresh-produce and cafeteria-food RFPs and IFBs, typically specified by count size, packaging format, and USDA grade. The work involves direct product supply with firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, HACCP compliance, and traceability documentation including USDA grade certificates and recall accessibility protocols.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) posting produce and commodity RFPs in June 2026 that included dried fruit as a line item within broader fresh-produce and foodservice categories. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice has also solicited dried fruit (whole pitted prunes, U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, minimum 1,400 boxes) under the same commodity family. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with the most recent opportunities posted between May and June 2026. Representative recent work includes Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026, delivering to three school sites through June 30, 2027 with Buy American requirements and 51 percent domestic content minimums for processed items) and the City of Bridgeport's commodities RFP (IFB BNB053266, due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items for delivery through June 30, 2027 with MBE/CBE certifications applicable). The Texas TDCJ prunes bid (Bid No. IW236532, originally due February 20, 2026, with Amendment No. 1 revising the opening date) illustrates direct dried-fruit procurement for correctional foodservice operations at scale.
