UNSPSC 50325430: Dried mountain bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50325430 Dried mountain bartlett pears, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of processed dried fruit products, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal direct relevance to the taxonomy title. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across the recent opportunities, with secondary activity from state correctional systems and county jail food-service operations. The scope of work spans school nutrition programs purchasing fresh and processed produce for cafeteria operations, including fresh produce contracts covering apples, berries, vegetables, citrus, and specialty items alongside dried fruit procurements for institutional food service. State departments of criminal justice and county correction facilities procure dried fruits and nuts for inmate meal services. The actual purchasing activity visible in the recent opportunities emphasizes fresh produce overwhelmingly—the Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce SY27 (due June 26, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 contract (due April 27, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County's fresh produce annual contract (due April 23, 2026)—with dried fruit appearing only incidentally in the Santa Clara County dried fruits and nuts procurement (due February 5, 2026) for correctional food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Virginia school districts, with secondary activity in Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California. Georgia School districts—Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System—represent the densest recent cluster, alongside Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri. Douglas County School System in Georgia issued two separate food-supply RFPs in early 2026. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026) spanning 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce for five warehouse locations, while the County of Santa Clara solicited dried fruits and nuts specifically for jail food service (due February 5, 2026). The state of Georgia issued a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB in May 2026. School nutrition drives the frequency and scale of recent activity; institutional corrections procurement represents a smaller secondary stream with specialized dried-goods requirements.
