UNSPSC 50325459: Dried williams pears

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

UNSPSC 50325459 Dried williams pears, a Commodity code, shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its specific scope. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for dried williams pears; the opportunities posted under or near this code span broader food supply categories including fresh produce, general grocery items, and miscellaneous dried fruits and nuts, but dried williams pears do not appear as a line item in any of the named recent solicitations. The County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts to its Department of Correction includes dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix, but does not name dried pears. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, and Connecticut are actively procuring fresh produce and comprehensive grocery inventories for child nutrition programs, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued a bid for whole pitted dried prunes, yet dried pear products remain absent from the visible recent solicitation record. The code does not reflect material procurement activity in the recent window.

State and local food service buyers—school nutrition programs, corrections departments, and county health services—dominate the broader dried and fresh produce ecosystem in the recent data, with school districts appearing most frequently. Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all posted produce and grocery RFPs and IFBs between January and June 2026. Corrections and detention food services in Texas and Santa Clara County represent secondary buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia in particular) and mid-Atlantic regions, with secondary activity in California, Missouri, Texas, and Connecticut. Without evidence of dried williams pear specifications in recent solicitations, market entry under this code requires prospecting directly to school nutrition and institutional food service programs rather than responding to visible opportunities.
