UNSPSC 50325455: Dried tientsin pears

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

UNSPSC 50325455 Dried Tientsin Pears, a Commodity code, encompasses dried fruit products purchased by state and local school districts, correctional facilities, and other public nutrition programs. The recent solicitation activity, however, shows minimal direct procurement of dried tientsin pears specifically; instead, the code appears in a broader context of dried fruit and produce purchasing where state and local jurisdictions are acquiring fresh produce, frozen vegetables, proteins, and other food staples for child nutrition, correctional food service, and institutional cafeteria operations. When dried fruits do appear in recent solicitations, they are typically bundled with fresh produce, eggs, or broader grocery categories rather than purchased as standalone commodity items.

School districts dominate the recent activity under this code tier, including Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and the Douglas County School System (Georgia serving a 30-district cooperative). Correctional and detention facilities also solicited dried fruit products, notably the County of Santa Clara (California) for the Elmwood Correctional Facility, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has issued bids for dried prunes. State education and procurement departments in Georgia and Texas issued umbrella food solicitations covering dried fruits alongside other commodities. Recent representative opportunities include the County of Santa Clara's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) specifying dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix for a correctional facility; Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB for the 2026-27 school year (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 produce line items; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's cafeteria food products IFB (posted May 4, 2026, due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum to May 4, 2026) spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic distribution areas. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (multiple school districts and state-level solicitations), Texas (TDCJ statewide), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and California (Santa Clara County). The code shows activity but limited direct solicitation volume specifically for dried tientsin pears as a standalone product line; dried fruit procurement appears embedded within broader institutional food service contracts rather than as a standalone commodity focus.
