UNSPSC 50335420: Dried organic glou morceau pears

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

UNSPSC 50335420 Dried organic glou morceau pears is a Commodity code that covers dried fruit products procured primarily by school districts and state correctional facilities for institutional food service. Recent state and local solicitations show that this code captures dried fruit line items within larger food-supply RFPs and IFBs, though the specific product — dried organic glou morceau pears — does not appear explicitly in recent opportunities. School districts and state departments dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Schools (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice representing the recent buyer base. These jurisdictions procure fresh and processed food commodities under consolidated purchasing vehicles that enumerate dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, dairy, proteins, and specialty foods for multi-site delivery over twelve-month contract periods. Buy American requirements mandating at least 51 percent domestic content for processed products apply across school nutrition solicitations, and vendors must provide USDA grade certification, HACCP plans, product formulation statements, and comprehensive liability insurance.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026) for approximately 382 food line items spanning proteins, dairy, grains, and condiments for five geographic warehouse areas, with awards on a line-item basis and a contract term through August 31, 2027 with two optional one-year renewals. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) posted IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce across over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued a commodities RFQ (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items for the Board of Education Nutrition Center through June 30, 2027. The State of Georgia also solicited food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026), though the full scope and commodity detail are contained in a separate attachment. A Texas TDCJ bid for whole pitted dried prunes (IFB IW236532) with a due date of February 20, 2026 indicates that specific dried-fruit items do move through corrections procurement, though this particular opportunity has already closed.
