UNSPSC 50335435: Dried organic passe crasanne pears

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

UNSPSC 50335435 Dried organic passe crasanne pears is a Commodity code that maps to state and local school nutrition and institutional food procurement, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct sourcing. School districts and state institutions buy dried fruit as part of broader fresh and processed produce contracts for cafeteria operations, breakfast and lunch programs, and nutrition centers. The work involves supplying case quantities of shelf-stable produce items to multiple delivery locations, meeting USDA grade and domestic-content requirements under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (minimum 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed items), and maintaining HACCP plans and food-safety certifications. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal school nutrition programs (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases), state departments (Georgia and Texas), and correctional institutions (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Most recent opportunities are solicited through IFB notice types with firm, fixed pricing for contract terms typically running one fiscal year with optional renewals.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with a secondary presence in Connecticut. Hancock County Schools Nutrition (Sparta, Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce across over 200 line items, due June 26, 2026, requiring delivery to three school locations through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities including fruit and vegetable products on IFB BNB053266, also due June 26, 2026, with delivery to the Thomas E. Carroll Nutrition Center and contract term through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued IFB 304T-26-300CF for cafeteria food products across approximately 382 line items to multiple TDCJ warehouse locations, extended to May 4, 2026, with an initial term through August 31, 2027 and optional renewals. A prior TDCJ solicitation (Bid No. IW236532, issued April 23, 2026) targeted whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality for the Corpus location; that opportunity's nominal due date of February 20, 2026, appears to reflect a historical record, placing it outside the current procurement window.
