UNSPSC 50325451: Dried sun gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50325451 Dried sun gold pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional foodservice supply chains, though the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not focus specifically on dried pears but rather on broad fresh and processed produce categories. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 requesting fresh produce spanning over 200 line items — apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, leafy greens, and specialty fruits — for delivery to three school sites across the 2026–27 school year at firm fixed pricing with transportation included. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases similarly solicited commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026, covering 115 line items of eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products with Buy American compliance and MBE/CBE certifications applicable. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued multiple institutional foodservice procurements, including a broad cafeteria food products IFB in May 2026 spanning 382 line items across proteins, frozen specialty items, dairy, grains, and produce for TDCJ warehouse distribution across five geographic areas, and a narrower bid for whole pitted dried prunes in February 2026 specifying U.S. Grade B quality in 60–70 count size. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Texas), county school boards (Hancock County), and city education purchasing offices (Bridgeport).

Activity under this code concentrates in school district nutrition programs and state criminal-justice institutional foodservice, spanning Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. The Hancock County Schools solicitation (IFB, due June 26, 2026) and Bridgeport Board of Education procurement (electronic submission via OpenGov, due June 26, 2026) represent the most directly relevant recent opportunities for produce supply to K–12 nutrition centers with firm fixed pricing and multi-month contract terms running through June 30, 2027. The Texas TDCJ cafeteria food products IFB (due May 4, 2026 after extension via Addendum No. 2) and the dried prunes bid (due February 20, 2026) show institutional demand across state systems. All recent opportunities incorporate Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products, HACCP or equivalent food-safety certifications, and delivery to specified institutional locations on FOB Destination terms with payment within 30–45 days.
