UNSPSC 50335421: Dried organic hosui pears

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

UNSPSC 50335421 Dried organic hosui pears is a Commodity code that sits at the lowest tier of the taxonomy hierarchy. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying fresh produce — primarily through school nutrition and institutional food-service channels — with recent opportunities spanning dried and fresh fruit, vegetables, proteins, dairy, and pantry staples for school cafeterias, correctional facilities, and state agencies. The issuing bodies are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), and city purchasing offices acting on behalf of education and food-service programs. School districts and state correctional and institutional buyers dominate the recent activity, each soliciting under cooperative or direct-award IFBs and RFPs that bundle multiple commodity line items — including but not limited to dried fruit, fresh produce, and specialty items — into single contracts covering fiscal-year or multi-year supply agreements.

Recent opportunities show activity in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, with a June 26 response deadline and delivery to three school sites for the 2026–27 school year, encompassing over 200 fresh produce line items with firm pricing and all-inclusive transportation. The City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requested bids on June 2, 2026, for 115 commodities line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center and compliance with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 food items including proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, grains, and fresh produce for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas, with the response deadline extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, and contract term through August 31, 2027. All recent solicitations require HACCP plans or equivalent food-safety documentation, USDA grade compliance, and firm fixed pricing with transportation prepaid; the State of Georgia also posted a food-supplies solicitation on May 15, 2026, with a June 22 response deadline.
