UNSPSC 50335443: Dried organic ruby red pears

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

UNSPSC 50335443 Dried organic ruby red pears, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products that state and local governments procure for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and other institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities record shows school districts and state agencies soliciting dried fruits as line items within broader fresh and processed produce acquisitions for cafeteria operations, though the sourced opportunities do not include a standalone solicitation specifically for dried organic ruby red pears. The work being bought under this code spans institutional food procurement where dried fruit appears as a commodity component alongside fresh produce, proteins, dairy, and staple items, typically specified with exact packaging, case counts, unit sizes, and USDA grade requirements.

The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Georgia Department of Education, Texas Department of Criminal Justice through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), and municipal purchasing offices acting on behalf of school nutrition centers. Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, and Texas, with opportunities posted between May and June 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Schools Nutrition IFB SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) covering over 200 line items of fresh and specialty produce for July 2026 through June 2027 delivery to three school locations, and the City of Bridgeport's IFB for 115 line items of food commodities for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (due June 26, 2026) requiring destination freight prepaid and TITAN School Solutions ordering system integration. Both solicitations enforce the Buy American provision requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items, firm pricing for the contract term, and compliance with HACCP or equivalent food safety protocols. A Texas Department of Criminal Justice IFB for cafeteria food products (due May 4, 2026) encompassed approximately 382 line items across proteins, frozen entrees, dairy, and canned and fresh produce for FOB Destination delivery to six TDCJ distribution points, with contract extending through August 31, 2027, plus optional renewals.
