UNSPSC 50325427: Dried kings royal pears

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

UNSPSC 50325427 Dried kings royal pears is a Commodity code that does not reflect significant recent activity in state and local procurement. While the code nominally designates a specific dried fruit product, the most recent opportunities posted under this code involve broader fresh and processed food categories rather than dried pears specifically. The opportunities span school nutrition programs, corrections food services, and centralized food distribution contracts across multiple states, but they predominantly solicit fresh produce, general grocery items, proteins, and miscellaneous dried fruits rather than dried pears as a line item or primary focus.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food procurement under this code include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), county corrections departments (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office in California), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and regional cooperative buying groups (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Recent solicitations show IFBs and RFPs with response dates concentrated between February and June 2026, with the most recent bid opening for Hancock County Schools Fresh Produce (IFB #SN002-2027) scheduled for June 29, 2026, and Bridgeport, Connecticut's commodities bid due June 26, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut, California, Texas, Missouri, and Virginia. The Santa Clara County procurement for dried fruits and nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) is the closest match to the code's nominal scope, but it encompasses raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans rather than dried pears, and it carries a five-year term with firm pricing in Year 1 and capped annual increases in renewal years. State and local buyers under this code generally enforce Buy American provisions (requiring 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans, USDA compliance, and firm fixed pricing for contract terms, with payment typically due within 30 to 45 days of delivery.
