UNSPSC 50325444: Dried santa maria pears

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

UNSPSC 50325444 Dried Santa Maria Pears, a Commodity code, addresses a narrow product category that state and local governments source primarily through school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent solicitations reveal minimal direct demand for dried Santa Maria pears specifically; the code appears to represent a specialized dried-fruit item within a broader procurement environment dominated by fresh produce, comprehensive grocery supply, and general dried-fruit-and-nuts aggregations. School districts and counties soliciting under related food commodity codes typically bundle dried fruits into larger produce or grocery contracts rather than isolate individual dried-fruit varieties.

Activity under this code shows limited concentration in school district nutrition programs across the Southeast and California. The County of Santa Clara, California issued ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 in January 2026 for dried fruits and nuts to supply the Elmwood Correctional Facility, encompassing dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with annual spend of roughly $2 million across five line items—but dried Santa Maria pears were not itemized. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County) issued separate fresh produce and grocery contracts between February and June 2026 (Hancock County Schools IFB SN002-2027 due June 26; Liberty County Board of Education IFB due April 29; Savannah-Chatham Bid 26-34 due April 23; Douglas County RFP SN 26-004 due March 4) that emphasized fresh and frozen produce staples, eggs, and bulk grocery items rather than specialty dried-fruit line items. The source supports no recent solicitations explicitly naming dried Santa Maria pears as a distinct procurement line item or category. Activity remains scattered across correctional food service and school nutrition programs without evidence of sustained or growing demand concentration under this Commodity code.
