UNSPSC 50325407: Dried beurre pears

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

UNSPSC 50325407 Dried beurre pears, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity indexed under it. The source shows no active solicitations specifically requesting dried beurre pears or comparable dried pear products. Recent postings tagged to this code reflect broader food-service procurement across school districts, county corrections, and state agencies—predominantly fresh produce, grocery staples, and food distribution contracts—rather than the niche category of dried pears. School districts from Hancock County, Georgia to Fairfax County, Virginia are bidding fresh-produce and grocery-item IFBs and RFPs with response dates ranging from late February through late June 2026, but none of these opportunities list dried pears among their line items. The sole dried-fruit solicitation in the block—Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Department of Correction—specifies raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blend, not pears. A February 2026 TDCJ bid for whole dried prunes similarly occupies the dried-fruit category without overlap to pears.

State and local procurement under this code shows minimal recent activity and no clear market demand. Geographic spread includes Georgia, Virginia, Texas, Missouri, California, and Connecticut, but activity concentrates in school-nutrition and corrections food service, where dried pears either do not appear on specification lists or fall outside awarded contracts. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual purchasing patterns suggests this Commodity code does not represent an active procurement stream in the current state and local environment, or the tagging is erroneous. Firms pursuing dried-fruit or specialty-produce supply should monitor broader Commodity codes covering fresh and processed produce, or target corrections and institutional food service through general grocery and commodity channels rather than this specific category.
