UNSPSC 50335426: Dried organic keiffer pears

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

UNSPSC 50335426 Dried organic keiffer pears (Commodity) shows minimal relevant recent activity for state and local procurement. The code's abstract scope—dried organic keiffer pears as a specific commodity—does not align with the documented solicitation activity, which centers on broad fresh produce procurement, general food service supply, and mixed dried fruit contracts rather than organic keiffer pears by name.

Recent state and local opportunities in this UNSPSC band reflect food service procurement by school districts, county school systems, and correctional facilities across the Southeast and California. However, none of the posted solicitations specifically name keiffer pears (dried or fresh) among their line-item requirements. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issued an IFB for fresh produce that itemizes multiple apple varieties and specialty fruits but does not reference keiffer pears; the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut), Savannah-Chatham County Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Schools (Virginia), and Rockwood R-VI Schools (Missouri) all solicited grocery and produce contracts with detailed line-item specifications that do not include keiffer pears. The County of Santa Clara (California) issued an ITB for dried fruits and nuts covering raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans—but not keiffer pears. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued two RFPs for food supply and fresh produce serving 30 districts, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $9 million, but keiffer pears do not appear in the scope. Texas Department of Criminal Justice has procured prunes and general cafeteria food products, and the State of Georgia issued a food supplies solicitation, neither naming keiffer pears specifically. The geographic footprint spans Georgia, Connecticut, Virginia, Missouri, California, and Texas, with school nutrition programs and correctional food service as the primary end users. The code appears inactive for dried organic keiffer pears as a targeted procurement category in current state and local markets.
