UNSPSC 50325418: Dried forelle pears

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

UNSPSC 50325418 Dried forelle pears is a Commodity code representing dried fruit products that state and local governments purchase primarily for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying dried and fresh produce as part of broader food service contracts, though the specific dried forelle pear line item appears within larger fresh and processed fruit procurements rather than as a standalone category. The work encompasses sealed-bid food supply contracts for cafeteria operations, with vendors required to meet USDA grading standards, provide HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety documentation, comply with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), and deliver to designated institutional locations on firm fixed-price terms with all transportation prepaid.

Activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, covering over 200 fresh produce line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline and delivery to three school locations beginning July 1, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products on June 2, 2026 (due June 26, 2026) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The State of Georgia issued PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026 for food supplies and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF covering approximately 382 food line items for cafeteria operations across five geographic areas, with responses extended to May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ dried-fruit procurement (Bid No. IW236532) for whole pitted dried prunes was issued April 23, 2026 with a February 20, 2026 amendment-acknowledged due date. School districts and state correctional systems drive demand; buyers require electronic submission through portals, commercial general liability insurance, USDA compliance documentation, and backup stock capacity for emergency delivery.
