UNSPSC 50335406: Dried organic beth pears

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

UNSPSC 50335406 Dried organic beth pears, a Commodity code, shows limited direct recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried organic pears—does not align closely with the actual procurements posted under it. Recent solicitations tagged with this code overwhelmingly focus on fresh produce, eggs, and broader food service supply contracts for school districts, county corrections facilities, and state agencies, rather than dried pear products specifically. Of the fourteen opportunities listed, only one—the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026)—touches dried fruit categories at all, and that solicitation calls for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans, with no mention of pears. The remaining opportunities target fresh produce (apples, berries, leafy greens, citrus), eggs, and comprehensive grocery and food service distribution to schools and detention facilities across Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, and California. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System), municipal nutrition centers (City of Bridgeport), state departments (Georgia, Texas), and county correctional facilities (Santa Clara County). This is a fragmented buyer base with no single entity appearing more than twice.

The geographic spread spans Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Missouri, California, and Virginia, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh-produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) for 200+ line items of apples, berries, and vegetables; the City of Bridgeport's commodities bid (due June 26, 2026) covering eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce; and the County of Santa Clara's dried fruits and nuts ITB (due February 5, 2026) for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans delivered to a correctional facility. The code shows a significant classification mismatch—state and local procurement offices appear to be tagging food service supply and fresh produce contracts under this dried pear code rather than reserving it for actual dried pear products. Vendors targeting work under this code should recognize that real procurement demand lies in fresh produce, eggs, and broad-based food distribution services to institutional buyers, not dried organic pears specifically.
