UNSPSC 50325439: Dried rocha pears

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

UNSPSC 50325439 Dried rocha pears is a Commodity code that covers dried tree fruit products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this specific code is sparse. The recent opportunities block identifies only one tangentially related solicitation — a Texas Department of Criminal Justice bid for whole, pitted, dried prunes (Bid No. IW236532, due February 20, 2026) — which addresses dried fruit but not rocha pears specifically. The remaining nine solicitations in the block center on fresh produce, eggs, and broad food service supply for school districts and correctional facilities, categories that fall outside the rocha pear commodity scope. State and local buyers do source dried fruits through cooperative purchasing and district nutrition programs, but available records show no active solicitations specifically for dried rocha pears at this time.

The broader dried fruit and nut procurement activity visible in the source comes primarily from school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Connecticut, the State of Georgia, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Santa Clara County in California. These buyers issue IFBs and RFPs on annual cycles tied to school nutrition and correctional facility food service calendars, typically with response dates between February and June and contract periods running July 1 through June 30. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, and Missouri based on recent postings. Dried rocha pears do not appear in any of the representative solicitations examined; buyers are instead requesting dried prunes, raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mixes, and broad fresh produce assortments. Vendors interested in dried fruit procurement should monitor school district nutrition RFPs and correctional facility food service bids, where dried fruits are incorporated as components of larger grocery or commodity contracts rather than as standalone line items.
