UNSPSC 50335403: Dried organic asian pears

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

UNSPSC 50335403 Dried organic asian pears, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products procured by state and local education and corrections agencies for institutional food service. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show school districts and state departments of corrections soliciting fresh and dried produce, canned goods, proteins, and specialty food items for cafeteria operations and institutional meal programs. The scope encompasses bulk food procurement tied to standardized nutrition requirements, USDA grade standards, Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), and delivery to multiple institutional locations on firm, fixed pricing through multi-year contract terms. School districts and state corrections departments are the primary issuing bodies, with some activity from state-level procurement divisions acting as centralized contracting authorities on behalf of multiple agencies.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut, with recent IFBs posted by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products, due May 4, 2026), the State of Georgia (solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026), the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education (BNB053266, electronic bid due June 26, 2026), and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026). The Hancock County and Bridgeport opportunities explicitly scope fresh produce including over 200 and 115 line items respectively, with specific apple and fruit varieties and root vegetables, though neither opportunity record directly references dried asian pears as an awarded or currently solicited item. The code shows limited recent activity directly tied to dried organic asian pears; most posted opportunities emphasize fresh produce and broader commodity categories rather than this specific dried fruit product line.
