UNSPSC 50325421: Dried hosui pears

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

UNSPSC 50325421 Dried hosui pears is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure dried hosui pears primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food services. The recent solicitations show that this code sits within a broader spectrum of dried and fresh produce sourcing for school districts and correctional institutions, though dried hosui pears appear as a specialized line item rather than a high-volume staple. School districts and state departments of corrections are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under related produce codes; the Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted food procurement RFBs and IFBs in the May–June 2026 window. These solicitations enforce Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products, HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, and compliance with USDA grade standards. Vendors must navigate diverse delivery requirements to multiple institutional sites, maintain firm pricing for the contract term, and carry comprehensive insurance coverage including commercial general liability and products liability.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a response deadline of June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across berries, cruciferous vegetables, and specialty items; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) posted a 115-item commodities RFB with the same June 26, 2026, response date through its OpenGov Procurement Portal. The State of Georgia issued a solicitation on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026, for food supplies and kitchen products with the full scope contained in an attached document. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, posted IFB 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for cafeteria food products across five geographic TDCJ distribution areas with responses due May 4, 2026 (extended via Addendum No. 2). A separate TDCJ solicitation, IFB IW236532, sought whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality for the Corpus Christi location with an original February 18, 2026, opening date revised to February 20, 2026.
