UNSPSC 50335409: Dried organic clapp favorite pears

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

UNSPSC 50335409 Dried organic clapp favorite pears, a Commodity code, maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The code nominally describes a single dried-pear product line, but the recent opportunities solicited under this code span broad fresh and processed food procurement for school nutrition programs and correctional facilities, including fresh produce (apples, berries, vegetables, citrus), proteins, dairy, grains, and specialty items — not dried pears specifically. The mismatch suggests the code is being used as a catch-all for commodity food procurement rather than as a precise product identifier. When opportunities do reference dried fruit, they name dried prunes, not dried pears. State and local buyers posting opportunities under this code are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut) and state-level agencies supplying correctional facilities (Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, and the State of Georgia). The issuing bodies use IFB as the standard notice type for these multi-item food solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Southwest. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB for fresh produce with a due date of June 26, 2026; Bridgeport's Board of Education nutrition center (Connecticut) issued a commodities IFB due the same date; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, through the Comptroller's Statewide Procurement Division, solicited cafeteria food products (IFB 304T26300CF, extended to May 4, 2026) and dried prunes (Bid IW236532, due February 20, 2026) for multiple warehouse and facility locations. The State of Georgia posted a food-supplies IFB (due June 22, 2026) with limited scope detail available. These school and correctional-facility buyers are repeat solicitors under broad food commodity codes, but the code itself shows no meaningful recent activity specifically for dried organic Clapp favorite pears as a line item.
