UNSPSC 50325409: Dried clapp favorite pears

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

UNSPSC 50325409 Dried clapp favorite pears is a Commodity code covering dried specialty pear products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies sourcing dried fruit as part of broader fresh and processed produce buys for meal programs, though dried Clapp favorite pears specifically appear rarely — most recent activity tags this code as part of larger commodity batches rather than as a line item standing alone. Work under the code spans school nutrition centers supplying meal programs and correctional institution cafeterias, where dried fruit serves as a breakfast, snack, or dessert component within fixed menus.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), with school districts predominating in the recent record. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent postings; the Texas TDCJ solicitation for cafeteria food products (IFB 304T-26-300CF, due May 4, 2026) and the Hancock County Schools fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) illustrate the procurement environment, though neither specifically names dried Clapp pears. The Hancock County solicitation encompassed over 200 produce line items with delivery to three school sites over a July 2026–June 2027 term; the Bridgeport Board of Education commodities bid (due June 26, 2026) covered 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, and fruit products with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. All solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products and mandate HACCP or USDA compliance certification. School district buyers typically award to single or multiple vendors and require 24/7 recall accessibility and liability insurance; TDCJ procurement follows firm fixed pricing with FOB destination delivery to distribution centers.
