UNSPSC 50325431: Dried olivier de serres pears

The variety of pears known as olivier de serres pears that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325431 Dried olivier de serres pears is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized dried stone fruit products used primarily in institutional food service — school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public-sector cafeteria operations. Recent state and local solicitations show no direct procurements for dried olivier de serres pears specifically; instead, the code's recent activity reflects broader dried fruit procurement under school nutrition and institutional food service contracts where dried fruits appear as line items within larger commodity bundles rather than as standalone products. The Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) represents the closest match, soliciting dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans for Elmwood Correctional Facility on an all-or-none basis with annual volumes of 1,000–5,880 cases per item, but dried pears are not explicitly named in that or any other recent posting.

School districts and county systems dominate the issuing bodies under the broader dried fruit category, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Douglas County Schools (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Santa Clara County (California) all posting food procurement RFPs and IFBs in the first half of 2026. These opportunities typically bundle dried fruits with fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and staple groceries on annual fixed-price contracts running July through June. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and county systems), with secondary activity in Virginia, Missouri, and California. The code shows minimal standalone demand for dried olivier de serres pears; vendors pursuing this commodity should view it as a specialty line item within larger school nutrition or institutional food service contracts rather than as a primary procurement category.
