UNSPSC 50325425: Dried kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears

The variety of pears known as kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325425 Dried kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears (Commodity) does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span fresh produce, eggs, dried fruits and nuts, and broad food service distribution — categories that diverge significantly from the narrow specialty-item focus implied by the code's name. One opportunity explicitly addresses dried fruits and nuts (Santa Clara County's January 2026 ITB for dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to supply a correctional facility), but it does not reference pears of any variety. The remaining nine recent solicitations capture school district and state food service purchases for fresh produce, grocery items, main-line food distribution, and cafeteria supplies across Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood School District (Missouri), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Santa Clara County (California).

The mismatch between the code's product specification and the recent opportunities suggests either a cataloging error or that dried pears represent an incidental line item within broader food service RFPs rather than a standalone procurement focus. State and local buyers pursuing this code in practice are issuing blanket RFPs and IFBs for school nutrition services, institutional food service, and general grocery supply—not targeted solicitations for specialty dried pear products. Business development professionals should verify whether the code assignment reflects actual purchasing practice or treat it as a low-activity or miscoded category pending clarification from state and local procurement offices.
