UNSPSC 50325443: Dried ruby red pears

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

UNSPSC 50325443 Dried ruby red pears is a Commodity code that represents a specific dried fruit product purchased by state and local governments primarily through school nutrition programs. Recent state and local solicitations show that while dried fruits appear in broader food-service categories, actual procurement activity under this specific commodity code is minimal. The source includes one tangentially related opportunity—the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts solicitation for correctional facility food services—but that procurement spans multiple dried fruit types (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blend) and nuts rather than dried pears specifically. School districts and other issuing bodies soliciting under related food commodity codes (such as fresh produce, master grocery contracts, and general food supply) do not consistently list dried pears as a line item in their specifications; when dried fruits appear in school nutrition procurement, they are typically included in broader produce or snack categories rather than as standalone commodities.

Geographic activity for dried-fruit-related procurement is scattered across multiple states including Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, Missouri, and California, with school districts and state/county agencies as primary buyers. The Douglas County School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia) have all issued food supply contracts in early 2026, but none specifically target dried pears. The County of Santa Clara's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) represents the most directly relevant recent opportunity in the broader dried-fruit space, though it does not isolate dried pears as a distinct line item. Current market signal suggests dried pears procurement through state and local channels is embedded in larger fresh and processed produce contracts rather than solicited as a standalone commodity, limiting visibility and pursuit opportunity under this specific UNSPSC code.
