UNSPSC 50335416: Dried organic early pears

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

UNSPSC 50335416 Dried organic early pears is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity in state and local procurement. The code's nominal scope—dried organic pear products—does not align with the recent solicitations tagged under it. The sample opportunities span school nutrition programs, correctional facility food services, and general food distribution contracts that encompass broad fresh and processed food categories, but none of the posted solicitations explicitly call for dried pears or identify dried pears as a material line item. A January 2026 Santa Clara County procurement for dried fruits and nuts to the County Sheriff's Department (Invitation to Bids ITBPRC-FY260617) came closest in product family, requesting dried cranberries, dried tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis, but dried pears were not listed. A February 2026 Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicitation (IW236532) targeted whole pitted dried prunes in specific grades and pack sizes, indicating state correctional systems do procure dried-fruit products, but that opportunity predates the current window and addressed prunes rather than pears.

The issuing bodies active in adjacent categories—dried and processed produce for institutional food service—include school districts (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Douglas County, Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI), city and county nutrition departments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), state departments (Georgia, Texas), and correctional systems (Santa Clara County, Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Geographic concentration in recent months runs through Georgia (multiple school districts, state procurement, prunes for TDCJ), Texas (TDCJ cafeteria foods and prunes), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County dried fruits). No solicitations in the recent block specifically target dried organic pears, and the code shows no meaningful opportunity pipeline in its stated commodity class as of mid-2026.
