UNSPSC 50325406: Dried beth pears

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

UNSPSC 50325406 Dried beth pears, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's scope. The single directly relevant opportunity in the recent record—Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to support detention-facility food services—includes dried cranberries, raisins, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans but does not specifically call for dried pears. The broader pattern of state and local solicitations under related food-service codes reflects school district and corrections purchasing across fresh produce, prepared foods, and commodity staples, but dried pears do not appear as a line item or specification in any of the nine posted opportunities reviewed, suggesting the code either lacks active demand in current school nutrition and detention-food procurement or is underutilized relative to broader produce and grocery categories. State and local issuers in the record—Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Bridgeport schools in Connecticut, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI schools in Missouri, Liberty County schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham schools in Georgia, Douglas County schools in Georgia, and Santa Clara County corrections in California—are driving volume in fresh and processed fruit lines, but those opportunities cluster around staple items such as apples, berries, bananas, citrus, and pre-packaged fruit products rather than specialty dried fruits.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Liberty County, Hancock County, Douglas County, and Savannah-Chatham school systems), with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The most recent procurement tagged under this code—Santa Clara County ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 posted January 28, 2026, with a due date of February 5, 2026—targets dried fruits and nuts for Elmwood Correctional Facility but specifies raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis, with an estimated annual spend on dried fruits alone not disclosed. No evidence in the source supports active demand for dried pears specifically as a standalone commodity in current state and local school nutrition or corrections food-service contracts, and the code appears to represent either niche purchasing not reflected in recent public solicitations or a taxonomic classification underutilized by the issuing bodies tracked here.
