UNSPSC 50335411: Dried organic concorde pears

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

UNSPSC 50335411 Dried organic concorde pears, a Commodity code, does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope is highly specialized — a single dried-fruit variety with organic certification — yet the recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect broad school-nutrition procurement for fresh produce, general food supply, and other commodity items unrelated to dried organic concorde pears in particular. School districts and criminal-justice agencies across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, Virginia, and California are actively soliciting fresh-produce contracts (including fresh and dried fruits broadly), cafeteria food products, and general grocery items through IFBs and RFPs posted between January and June 2026; representative examples include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (IFB due June 26, 2026 for 200+ fresh-produce line items), Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center (IFB due June 26, 2026 for 115 commodity line items), and Douglas County School System (RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts, due March 4, 2026, with estimated spend of $5.5 million). These solicitations demonstrate robust demand for food-service supply across K-12 systems and corrections departments, but none specifically call for dried organic concorde pears or reference this commodity.

The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the generalized food-procurement opportunities listed suggests either miscoding in the source data or that dried organic concorde pears are bundled into broader commodity contracts rather than purchased as standalone line items. School nutrition programs in active markets (Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, Virginia, California) are placing annual contracts with firm pricing, Buy American requirements, and multiple-vendor award structures, but no solicitation explicitly names dried concorde pears or any dried-pear variety. Vendors pursuing specialized dried-fruit categories should monitor broader school-nutrition and institutional food-service RFPs for inclusion as line items within larger procurements, rather than expecting standalone solicitations under this code tier.
