UNSPSC 50325420: Dried glou morceau pears

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

UNSPSC 50325420 Dried glou morceau pears is a Commodity code that covers dried specialty fruit products procured by state and local governments, primarily school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local opportunities under this code reflect a narrow scope — the recent solicitations show dried fruit as one line item within broader fresh produce and commodity food procurement, rather than as a standalone focus. School districts and state agencies purchasing for cafeteria operations are the primary issuing bodies, with some activity from state department of criminal justice food services and city education nutrition centers. These entities buy dried fruit as part of multi-item produce and commodity contracts that include fresh vegetables, proteins, grains, and processed foods, typically on annual cycles with firm pricing and delivery to central distribution points or individual school sites.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Texas, and Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items for the 2026–27 school year with response due June 26, 2026, though this solicitation emphasizes fresh rather than dried fruit; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requested bids for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products with the same June 26, 2026 response date; and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB due June 22, 2026 with full scope in an attached document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued two separate solicitations — a large IFB for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic areas due May 4, 2026 (extended via addendum from April 21), and a standalone bid for whole pitted dried prunes with a due date of February 20, 2026. Dried glou morceau pears do not appear as an explicitly named line item in any of the available opportunity summaries, signaling that this specific commodity draws minimal recent state and local procurement activity.
