UNSPSC 50335407: Dried organic beurre pears

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

UNSPSC 50335407 Dried organic beurre pears is a Commodity code covering specialized dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope—instead, issuing bodies are procuring fresh produce, processed food commodities, and cafeteria staples in bulk for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. When the code does capture activity related to dried fruit, it appears within larger food-service procurement RFQs that bundle produce, proteins, and prepared items rather than as standalone dried-fruit requests. School districts and state corrections departments dominate the issuing-body mix, typically combining fresh produce and commodity foods in single multi-line-item solicitations rather than purchasing dried pears as a distinct line.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (berries, cruciferous vegetables, melons, citrus fruits) with bids due June 26, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued a commodities bid for the Bridgeport Board of Education on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, covering eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under Buy American provisions; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Statewide Procurement Division) issued Invitation for Bid No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 for cafeteria food products spanning 382 line items across proteins, dairy, grains, beverages, and condiments, with an extended due date of May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid No. IW236532 from April 23, 2026) targeted whole, pitted, dried prunes meeting U.S. Grade B specifications in 60-70 count size, though the due date had already passed at the time of posting. The code shows little recent standalone activity specifically for dried organic beurre pears and warrants close monitoring for school-district and corrections-agency produce contracts where the commodity might appear as a line item within broader food-service solicitations.
