UNSPSC 50325453: Dried taylors gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50325453 Dried taylors gold pears (Commodity) does not reflect meaningful recent activity under state and local procurement. The code nominally specifies a single dried-fruit variety, yet the solicitations tagged to it span broad school nutrition and correctional food service procurement across dried fruits, nuts, and fresh produce categories with no sustained focus on the named product. Recent opportunities have instead emphasized multi-item dried-fruit procurements (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, and assorted nuts), fresh produce, and integrated food service contracts where dried fruits appear as one line item among hundreds.

School districts and county corrections agencies dominate the issuing bodies, with activity concentrated in Georgia (Hancock County Schools, Liberty County Schools, Douglas County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and DCSD cooperative procurement), plus activity in Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), Texas (TDCJ), and California (Santa Clara County). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a narrowly focused dried-prunes solicitation (Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026) requiring U.S. Grade B whole pitted prunes in 60–70 count size, 25-pound boxes, with 1,400 boxes minimum for Delivery Area 1. Santa Clara County's February 2026 dried-fruits ITB (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) required dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for its Department of Correction. The broader pattern reflects school nutrition procurement dominating the code's activity, where dried fruits function as minor commodities within larger grocery or produce contracts. The mismatch between the code's specific product designation and the dispersed, multi-item scope of actual solicitations suggests this code does not cleanly align with current state and local buying patterns.
