UNSPSC 50335408: Dried organic bosc pears

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

UNSPSC 50335408 Dried organic bosc pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition and institutional food supply contracting. State and local governments solicit this code primarily through school districts and state procurement offices conducting nutrition center supply buys. The scope reflects institutional demand for dried fruit products as components of larger cafeteria and food service commodity bundles; recent solicitations show dried pears solicited alongside fresh produce, processed proteins, dairy, and condiment lines under single multi-line IFBs rather than as standalone items. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level procurement on behalf of correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and state departments of agriculture or nutrition (Georgia). School district nutrition centers dominate the recent activity, with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content on processed products as a standard compliance requirement across all opportunities.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in the Southeast and South, with posted opportunities from Georgia (Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ cafeteria food products and prunes procurement). Representative solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (SY27), posted June 10, 2026 with a due date of June 26, 2026, encompassing over 200 fresh and specialty produce line items for three school sites through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for commodities to the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center, posted June 2, 2026 with electronic submission due June 26, 2026, covering 115 line items including fruit and vegetable products; and the Texas Comptroller's IFB No. 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products serving TDCJ warehouses across five geographic areas, with the response deadline extended to May 4, 2026. Vendors in this space must comply with HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, USDA grade certification, nutritional labeling, and state health inspection records, with payment typically Net 30 to Net 45 days and contract terms running one to three years. Award is frequently made to single or multiple bidders at the issuing body's discretion, with price firm for the contract duration unless major market changes trigger renegotiation.
