UNSPSC 50325454: Dried taylors red pears

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

UNSPSC 50325454 Dried taylors red pears (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity state and local governments are undertaking. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce, general grocery items, dried fruits and nuts, and comprehensive food service distribution for school nutrition and corrections facilities—but none involve dried Taylors red pears specifically. School districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, Virginia, and California are actively soliciting produce, eggs, dried fruits, and cafeteria staples for child nutrition programs and detention facilities, yet the code's narrow commodity name bears no match to the broad, mixed-category food procurement these jurisdictions are executing. The code appears to be a categorical artifact that does not correspond to current state and local buying patterns.

Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) Department of Public Purchases requesting commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with responses due June 26, 2026; Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) soliciting over 900 grocery items via NUTRIKIDS electronic bidding due April 29, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) issuing IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens due April 27, 2026; and Santa Clara County (California) issuing ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for dried fruits and nuts to its Department of Correction due February 5, 2026. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia, the Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and California, with school districts representing the dominant buyer type, supplemented by county corrections and municipal nutrition operations. The mismatch between code definition and actual purchasing suggests this code is inactive for practical procurement purposes or misaligned with current state and local food service taxonomy.
