UNSPSC 50325428: Dried limonera pears

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

UNSPSC 50325428 Dried limonera pears is a Commodity code representing specialty dried fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for school nutrition programs and correctional facility food services. Recent solicitations show school districts and county agencies sourcing dried fruit as a component of broader fresh produce and specialty food supply contracts, though no solicitation targets dried limonera pears specifically; the code shows minimal direct procurement activity focused on this single product line.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) all posting IFBs and RFPs for annual or multi-year food supply contracts in early 2026. Correctional facilities and county procurement offices appear secondarily, as evidenced by the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to supply the Elmwood Correctional Facility. School nutrition programs account for the largest volume of procurement activity under related food commodity codes. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and the Southeast, with notable activity in Virginia, Missouri, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' IFB for fresh produce (due June 26, 2026), which itemizes over 200 line items but does not isolate dried pears; the County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to supply correctional food services (due February 5, 2026), which specifies five dried fruit line items including raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix on an all-or-none basis; and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). These solicitations typically require Buy American compliance, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple sites, USDA grade certification or nutritional specification compliance, and commercial general liability insurance. No recent solicitation explicitly names dried limonera pears as a line item, suggesting the code may see limited standalone procurement or be tagged to broader commodity contracts where dried fruit is a minor component rather than a primary focus.
