UNSPSC 50335417: Dried organic emperor brown pears

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

UNSPSC 50335417 Dried organic emperor brown pears is a Commodity code that spans dried fruit products supplied to school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food services. The recent opportunities in this code show state and local governments purchasing dried fruits—raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit blends, and nuts—as components of broader food service contracts rather than as standalone dried pear procurements. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent bids from Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia), alongside correctional and detention facilities such as the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department. The code sees activity across Georgia, Virginia, Texas, Missouri, Connecticut, and California, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts.

Recent opportunities show food service distributors and specialty suppliers bidding on dried fruit line items within annual K-12 school nutrition contracts and correctional facility food supply agreements. Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026) solicited over 200 fresh and specialty produce items with delivery to three school locations; while this opportunity emphasizes fresh produce, it demonstrates the institutional scale. Santa Clara County's ITB-PRC-FY26-0617 for Dried Fruits and Nuts (due February 5, 2026) is the most directly relevant recent solicitation, requiring dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis for the Sheriff's Department correctional facility, with a five-year term and pricing firm fixed for Year 1. Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) indicates annual spending near $9 million for main-line food service to 32 schools, suggesting dried fruits are purchased as commodity inputs within larger food distribution frameworks rather than as standalone procurements. The code shows active but specialized demand—dried fruits appear as line items in institutional food contracts, not as standalone category drivers.
