UNSPSC 50335405: Dried organic best ever pears

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

UNSPSC 50335405 Dried organic best ever pears is a Commodity code covering dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and institutional food services. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code captures fresh and processed produce for school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and other government nutrition operations, though the recent opportunities block reveals a significant mismatch: most solicitations tagged to this code are actually bidding fresh produce, frozen entrees, proteins, and bulk commodity foods rather than dried pears specifically. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, vegetables, and melons for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB053266 on June 2, 2026, for 115 line items of cafeteria food products including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products due June 26, 2026, with MBE/CBE preferences under city ordinance. School districts and state agencies remain the primary issuing bodies under this code, using it to consolidate nutrition procurement across multiple product categories rather than narrowly defining dried fruit.

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions, with Georgia and Connecticut showing recent volume. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, procuring through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division, issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 cafeteria food line items (extended deadline from April 21) including proteins, frozen specialty entrees, dairy, grains, and produce across five geographic distribution areas in Texas. TDCJ also issued Bid No. IW236532 for whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality (60-70 count, 25-pound boxes) with a due date that has passed (February 20, 2026). The code shows modest recent activity, with most opportunities spanning broad commodity aggregations for school lunch and correctional institution dining rather than specialized dried fruit procurement. Buy American provisions and domestic content thresholds (51 percent minimum for processed products under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act) apply across jurisdictions. All school-district opportunities require HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, debarment verification, and anti-collusion certifications.
