UNSPSC 50325437: Dried red bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50325437 Dried red bartlett pears (Commodity) does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single solicitation explicitly naming dried pears — Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts at Elmwood Correctional Facility, posted January 28, 2026 with a February 5, 2026 response date — bundles dried pears as part of a broader dried-fruit procurement requiring all-or-none bidding on five product lines (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans), making the code a poor signal for isolated dried-pear procurement. The remaining recent opportunities tagged to this code are school nutrition and corrections food-service bids that reference fresh produce, fresh-frozen items, and general grocery categories rather than dried red bartlett pears specifically: Hancock County Schools (Georgia) IFB for fresh produce, Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education commodities, Liberty County Schools (Georgia) IFB for food products, and others spanning state correctional systems and large school districts across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Virginia, and Connecticut. These opportunities center on bulk fresh and frozen produce delivery, prepared entrees, dairy, proteins, and staple grocery items for high-volume meal service.

State and local procurement activity under dried-pear taxonomy appears dormant outside the single mixed-dried-fruit opportunity. The Santa Clara County procurement requires all vendors to bid on raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans as a package with no itemized pricing separation, meaning dried pears do not surface as a standalone line item even in that context. School districts and corrections departments dominate the recent opportunity set across this code tier, but their stated scopes emphasize fresh apples, bananas, berries, and seasonal produce with weekly delivery schedules, not shelf-stable dried fruits. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Liberty County Schools, Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County School System), Texas (TDCJ), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), and California (Santa Clara County), but none of these recent solicitations identify dried red bartlett pears as a discrete procurement target. Firms pursuing this code should treat it as a niche play within larger dried-fruit or prepared-food buys rather than expect standalone demand.
