UNSPSC 50335428: Dried organic limonera pears

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

UNSPSC 50335428 Dried organic limonera pears is a Commodity code that covers dried fruit products for institutional food service, though recent state and local solicitations show minimal specific procurement activity tagged to this code. The scope of work under dried fruit procurement generally encompasses shelf-stable fruit products for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other public food service operations — items delivered as case-packed, graded goods with firm pricing and shelf-life specifications. Issuing bodies soliciting for dried fruits and related commodities span school districts, state departments managing institutional nutrition contracts, and state criminal-justice agencies purchasing food for multiple facility locations. The code sits within a broader institutional food procurement landscape where state and local buyers purchase hundreds of line items across proteins, dairy, produce, and shelf-stable staples under single master solicitations.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Texas. Recent major opportunities include Hancock County Schools (Georgia) issuing IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning the 2026–27 school year with a June 26, 2026 response date; the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut (Connecticut) posting BNB053266 for 115 line items of cafeteria commodities also due June 26, 2026; and the State of Georgia issuing PE55645NONST2026000000009 on May 15, 2026 for food supplies and kitchen products. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF (response deadline extended to May 4, 2026) covering 382 line items for multiple warehouse locations, and bid IW236532 for pitted dried prunes with a February 20, 2026 close — though the source shows no current open opportunities specifically for dried organic pears. School districts and state nutrition programs enforce Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic content in processed items and typically require HACCP certifications, E-Verify authorization, and proof of state health and USDA compliance. The code itself shows limited recent solicitation activity; opportunities are tagged more broadly to general food commodities, making pursuit of dried organic pear sales contingent on building relationships with institutional food service buyers at school nutrition centers and correctional facilities rather than responding to commodity-specific RFQs.
