UNSPSC 50325417: Dried emperor brown pears

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

UNSPSC 50325417 Dried emperor brown pears is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities record shows no state or local solicitations specifically for dried emperor brown pears. The representative opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce, frozen and canned foods, and mixed grocery items for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services — work fundamentally misaligned with a single-commodity dried-fruit specification. The mismatch between the code's narrow scope and the breadth of food procurement captured in these records suggests the code sees minimal targeted activity or that issuing bodies are applying broader food-category codes to capture institutional bulk purchasing across multiple product lines.

School districts, county boards of education, state departments, and correctional systems dominate the issuing body mix, with recent opportunities concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California. Representative recent activity includes Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing an IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) soliciting mixed commodity groceries via IFB also due June 26, 2026; Douglas County School System (Georgia) issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs on a cooperative purchasing vehicle with a March 4, 2026 response date; and Santa Clara County (California) soliciting dried fruits and nuts for correctional food services via ITB with a February 5, 2026 response date. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content in processed products and firm pricing for the contract term are standard across these solicitations. The code's narrow commodity focus and the absence of dedicated solicitations for dried emperor brown pears specifically suggest this is a low-activity or misclassified code; vendors pursuing institutional food supply should monitor the broader produce and commodity family codes rather than rely on this Commodity-level entry point.
