UNSPSC 50325434: Dried paraiso pears

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

UNSPSC 50325434 Dried paraiso pears is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other state and local food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show school districts and correctional authorities buying dried fruits—including raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, prunes, and mixed dried produce—as components of broader food service contracts or standalone dried-fruit procurement. The work involves supplying packaged dried fruits meeting USDA grade and nutritional specifications, with firm pricing, FOB destination delivery, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, appearing across multiple recent opportunities (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Schools in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County Schools in Georgia); correctional facilities also solicit under this category, as evidenced by the County of Santa Clara's procurement for the Elmwood Correctional Facility. State education agencies and state corrections departments round out the issuing bodies.

The code shows heaviest recent activity in Georgia and across the Southeast, with secondary activity in California and the Midwest. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' June 2026 IFB for fresh produce (responding 26 June) spanning over 200 items including specialty dried fruits, the County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due 5 February) covering raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit blends for a correctional facility on a five-year contract, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products (due 4 May, extended from 21 April) encompassing dried fruits as line items within a broader food procurement serving multiple warehouse locations. Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, USDA grade documentation, and firm fixed pricing for twelve-month terms are standard across all solicitations. Delivery windows are typically weekday daytime hours to school sites or central distribution points, with payment Net 30 to Net 45 days from invoice.
