UNSPSC 50325446: Dried sensation pears

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

UNSPSC 50325446 Dried sensation pears is a Commodity code that names a single product category, but the recent state and local procurement activity posted against it diverges sharply from the code's nominal scope. The five opportunities in the record span fresh produce aggregation (multiple apple and fruit varieties), frozen and shelf-stable food service commodities (beef, poultry, cheese, prepared entrees), and isolated dried-fruit line items within broader food service aggregations — not dried sensation pears specifically. The Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted an IFB in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including multiple apple varieties, berries, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted a June 2026 IFB for 115 line items of food service commodities including eggs, poultry, and cheese; the State of Georgia posted a May 2026 IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice posted a May 2026 IFB for approximately 382 line items spanning proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and produce; and TDCJ also posted a February 2026 solicitation for whole pitted dried prunes (not sensation pears) in 60–70 count size. The code shows little relevant recent activity matching its stated commodity focus.

Geographic activity centers on the Southeast and Texas, with issuing bodies confined to school districts (Hancock County), municipal governments (Bridgeport), state departments (Georgia, Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ), and state corrections agencies. Recent opportunities have originated in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, driven primarily by school nutrition and state agency food service aggregations posted between February and June 2026. None of the posted solicitations explicitly targets dried sensation pears as a line item or contracting focus; the code appears to have been applied to broad food service aggregations where dried fruits may occupy a minor subset of total scope. Buyers pursuing this code should verify that state and local procurement systems are tagging opportunities correctly — the mismatch between the code's discrete commodity name and the broad, multi-category scope of actual solicitations suggests potential data quality issues or miscoding in the state and local procurement notice system.
