UNSPSC 50335401: Dried organic abate fetel pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic abate fetel pears that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335401 Dried organic abate fetel pears (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — a specific variety of dried pears — is too narrow to match typical school nutrition and institutional food service purchasing patterns documented in the source records. Recent opportunities under similar dried-fruit and nut categories name specific items such as dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, or broad fresh-produce categories spanning dozens of items per solicitation, but none identify dried organic abate fetel pears as a line item or requirement. The Santa Clara County dried-fruits procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) and multiple school district fresh-produce solicitations across Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and Texas all specify product line items without reference to this particular pear variety.

The absence of activity under this code does not reflect lack of dried-fruit purchasing at the state and local level — institutional food service regularly procures dried fruits as components of broader grocery and produce contracts. Rather, the specificity of the code (a single heirloom pear variety rather than a commodity category) means purchasing officers either classify dried-pear purchases under broader fresh or dried fruit codes, specify the product by generic category rather than varietal name, or do not procure this variety at all. Firms pursuing opportunity in institutional food service dried-fruit categories should track broader dried-fruit codes, general grocery and produce family codes, and specific school district and correctional-facility nutrition solicitations rather than wait for activity under this commodity designation.
