UNSPSC 50335424: Dried organic juno pears

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

UNSPSC 50335424 Dried organic juno pears (Commodity) covers dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal direct procurement of dried pears specifically and instead reflect broader fresh and processed produce sourcing for school nutrition programs and corrections facilities. State and local governments buy fresh produce—apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, melons, and specialty fruits—under related commodity codes far more actively than dried fruits. School districts and state correctional departments are the primary issuing bodies; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice source produce regularly through IFBs and similar competitive mechanisms. The scope under this narrower code would cover shelf-stable dried fruits for institutional kitchens, likely in bulk quantities suited to multi-week storage and serving cycles, though the recent-opportunities block shows no active solicitations specifically for dried juno pears or dried organic pear products.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas based on recent school nutrition and corrections procurement. Hancock County Schools issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce spanning multiple varieties, with delivery to three school sites and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027; the City of Bridgeport issued BNB053266 (due June 26, 2026) for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under the Buy American Provision. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (due May 4, 2026, extended via addendum) for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple proteins, grains, and fresh and canned vegetables for delivery to six TDCJ distribution points across Texas. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532, bid opening February 20, 2026) sought whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality, 60-70 count size, with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes for Delivery Area 1—the closest match to dried fruit procurement under this code, though prunes rather than pears. No active solicitations for dried organic juno pears appear in the recent-opportunities block.
