UNSPSC 50335402: Dried organic anjou pears

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

UNSPSC 50335402 Dried organic anjou pears (Commodity) does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. School districts, county boards of education, and state correctional systems are actively soliciting dried fruits and nuts—including dried cranberries, raisins, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans—but the specific commodity of dried organic anjou pears has not appeared in recent solicitations. The single related opportunity, County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts serving the Sheriff's Department of Correction, specified dried raisins, cranberries, and tropical fruit mix but did not include pears of any variety. Recent state and local procurement under adjacent dried-fruit codes centers on mass institutional feeding—school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state agencies—where dried fruits serve as shelf-stable components in breakfast offerings, inmate meal services, and nutrition-focused product lines rather than premium or organic specialty items.

The broader dried-fruit and produce market shows concentrated activity among school districts in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and Virginia, with the Douglas County School System, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing multiple solicitations in early 2026 for fresh and processed produce. These jurisdictions pursue cost-competitive, high-volume supply contracts with firm pricing for twelve-month terms and tight delivery windows—typically 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. weekday service to 30–60 delivery points. Buy American compliance, USDA grading, HACCP certification, and 98–100 percent on-time delivery are baseline requirements. The absence of dried anjou pears from these active solicitations, alongside the prevalence of lower-cost commodity dried fruits (raisins, cranberries) and fresh produce, suggests limited near-term demand for this specific product in state and local institutional markets.
