UNSPSC 50335412: Dried organic conference pears

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

UNSPSC 50335412 Dried organic conference pears is a Commodity code that covers dried fruit products for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code predominantly procure fresh and dried produce as components of broader food-service contracts rather than as standalone dried pear line items. School districts issue the bulk of visible activity, sourcing fresh produce for student meal programs under IFB and RFQ notice types with firm pricing and Buy American compliance requirements mandating minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items. State departments of criminal justice and education also solicit under related dried-fruit commodity codes for cafeteria provisioning. Delivery and HACCP certification requirements are standard, and vendors must maintain emergency backup stock and accept electronic ordering through school nutrition systems such as TITAN School Solutions or OpenGov Procurement portals. Multi-location delivery to central nutrition centers or distributed school sites is typical.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with recent opportunities spanning the 2026 school year and calendar year contract periods running through June 2027. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Hancock County Board of Education, Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce across over 200 line items with bid opening June 29, 2026; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases requesting bids for 115 line item commodity categories including fruit and vegetable products with electronic submission due June 26, 2026; the State of Georgia issuing a food, supplies, and other kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Statewide Procurement Division issuing IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with response due May 4, 2026. A standalone TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IFB236532) was posted in April 2026 with February 20, 2026 closing date, indicating niche demand for dried fruit in correctional nutrition programs.
