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. State and local governments procure dried pears through school nutrition programs and correctional food services, alongside broader fresh and processed produce categories. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show school districts and state agencies buying produce for cafeteria operations, though the solicitations themselves cast a wider net—fresh and frozen fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries rather than dried pears as a standalone item. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) both issued IFBs for fresh produce spanning apple varieties, berries, citrus, and specialty fruits for the 2026-27 school year with June 26, 2026 response dates; the State of Georgia and Texas Department of Criminal Justice similarly sought food and cafeteria commodities in May and June 2026. The Georgia and Texas solicitations explicitly encompass multiple food categories with no line-item detail visible in the public summaries. Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed products apply across school nutrition opportunities. Vendors must provide HACCP plans, USDA compliance certifications, and commercial general liability insurance.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the school nutrition and correctional food-service sectors. Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice all posted opportunities between May 15 and June 10, 2026 with response windows in June. The Hancock County IFB and City of Bridgeport IFB offer the most concrete detail: both target fresh produce delivery to multiple sites with firm fixed pricing through June 2027, sealed-bid submission, and awards to single or multiple vendors based on lowest responsive and responsible bids. A separate TDCJ IFB for whole pitted dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532) posted April 23, 2026, with an original due date of February 18, 2026 (amended to February 20, 2026), specifying U.S. Grade B prunes in 60-70 count size with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for the Corpus location. The code shows no recent activity outside the South (Georgia, Texas, Connecticut), and no incumbent vendors or contract values are named in the public summaries.
