UNSPSC 50335414: Dried organic d'anjou pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic d'anjou pears that have been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50335414 Dried organic d'anjou pears is a Commodity code that captures dried stone fruits and specialty produce items purchased by state and local school nutrition programs. State and local procurement under this code centers on fresh and dried produce for child nutrition services, with the recent opportunities block showing food service contracts dominated by school districts sourcing complete grocery and produce lines rather than single-commodity buys. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and county boards of education (Hancock County Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI School District), with one county correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department of Correction) and one state agency (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School districts typically build annual contracts spanning 50–900+ line items of grocery items, fresh produce, and specialty foods, with dried fruits appearing as minor components within much larger fresh and frozen produce scopes rather than as standalone line items. The Buy American provision requiring a minimum of 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content in processed products appears across nearly all school-based opportunities, and firm fixed pricing for the contract period is standard.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic, with the most recent activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school districts), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Texas (TDCJ), with a single opportunity on the West Coast (Santa Clara County, California). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB for 2026–27 (posted June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026) sourcing over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty items for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 delivery to three school sites; Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across one year with optional four-year renewals; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative buying RFP for fresh produce and eggs (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) covering 30 school districts across two geographic areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Dried fruit as a standalone commodity category shows minimal recent activity; the Santa Clara County correctional facility ITB for dried fruits and nuts (posted January 28, 2026, due February 5, 2026) is the only narrow-scope dried-produce opportunity in the block, requiring five line items on an all-or-none basis (dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) for a five-year term.
