UNSPSC 50325455: Dried tientsin pears

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

UNSPSC 50325455 Dried tientsin pears (Commodity) appears in recent state and local procurement activity primarily as part of broader food-supply solicitations for school nutrition programs and institutional feeding operations, rather than as a standalone item. The code encompasses dried fruit products procured by state departments, county school districts, and municipal education boards as components of comprehensive produce and commodity contracts. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school nutrition administrators, county boards of education, and state-level procurement divisions managing cafeteria operations, with activity concentrated among institutional foodservice providers supplying schools and correctional facilities.

Recent opportunities show the code active in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including specialty dried fruits, with responses due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites through June 2027 under Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued Bid No. IW236532 in April 2026 for whole, pitted, dried prunes (U.S. Grade B, 60–70 count, 25-pound boxes) with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes and a revised due date of February 20, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products in June 2026 (due June 26) for the Board of Education Nutrition Center with MBE/CBE certifications applicable under City Ordinance 3.12.130, and the State of Georgia issued a general food and supplies bid in May 2026 (due June 22) covering kitchen products. All school nutrition contracts require HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and compliance with USDA nutritional and safety standards; pricing is firm fixed for the contract term with payments typically due within 30 to 45 days of receipt of invoiced goods.
