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 covers dried pear procurement, though recent state and local activity under this code focuses on broader fresh and processed produce supply to schools and correctional facilities rather than the specific varietals named. School districts and state correctional agencies are the primary issuing bodies, soliciting produce through IFB and RFQ processes with annual or multi-year contract terms. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice represent the dominant buyers visible in recent postings. Work under the code encompasses fresh produce supply agreements with detailed itemization of apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, peppers, tomatoes, and specialty produce items, often bundled with refrigeration, HACCP compliance, and 24/7 recall protocols. Contracts typically run July-to-June school-year cycles or extend through multi-year criminal-justice budget periods, with firm fixed pricing and destination delivery to multiple institutional sites.

Activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary procurement from Connecticut. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Georgia) posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, soliciting over 200 line items of fresh produce for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027, with Buy American requirements stipulating 51 percent domestic content in processed goods. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB for commodities on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, spanning 115 line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, with MBE/CBE set-asides under city ordinance and Net 45 payment terms through June 30, 2027. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, on behalf of TDCJ, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (extended response deadline), covering approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products including proteins, dairy, grains, vegetables, and fruits for delivery to six Texas distribution points, with contract terms through August 31, 2027 and optional one-year renewals. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice also posted Bid No. IW236532 on April 23, 2026, for whole, pitted dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60-70 count) with minimum order of 1,400 boxes; the amended due date was February 20, 2026.
