UNSPSC 50325438: Dried red d'anjou pears

The variety of pears known as red d'anjou pears that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50325438 Dried red d'anjou pears is a Commodity code that sees limited recent state and local procurement activity; the code records no solicitations specifically requesting dried d'anjou pears. State and local buyers acquiring dried fruit products under related commodity codes do so primarily through school district nutrition programs and correctional facility food service operations, where dried fruits appear as components within broader fresh-produce, grocery, or specialty-food procurements rather than as standalone line items. The Santa Clara County correctional facility solicitation (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) included dried cranberries and dried tropical fruit mix within a five-line dried-fruit-and-nuts procurement, but did not specify d'anjou pears. School nutrition solicitations across Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and Virginia during the same period emphasized fresh produce and fresh-delivered items, with dried fruits appearing only incidentally within larger commodity or master-grocery contracts.

Recent state and local activity under commodity codes near this one centers on school districts (Hancock County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County) and correctional systems (Texas TDCJ, Santa Clara County Sheriff) issuing IFBs and RFPs for food products through April 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia. The procurement vehicles are primarily IFB and RFP with firm-fixed pricing, Buy American requirements, and USDA compliance mandates. Dried red d'anjou pears as a specific product line does not appear in any of the posted solicitations, suggesting minimal or no current state and local demand targeting this commodity directly.
