UNSPSC 50335444: Dried organic santa maria pears

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

UNSPSC 50335444 Dried organic santa maria pears is a Commodity code that encompasses dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities. School districts and other child nutrition service providers buy dried fruits primarily as components of broader grocery or produce contracts that serve cafeteria meal programs, though the recent opportunities block shows little activity specifically targeting dried santa maria pears as a standalone line item. Instead, recent state and local solicitations in this commodity space address wider dried fruit categories or fresh produce contracts where dried items may appear alongside other produce; the County of Santa Clara's January 2026 ITB for dried fruits and nuts (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's February 2026 IFB for whole pitted dried prunes represent the nearest related procurements. School districts, county boards of education, and state correctional agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with school nutrition programs particularly active in sourcing fresh and processed produce under annual or multi-year fixed-price term contracts.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Virginia based on recent solicitations. The most relevant precedent is the Santa Clara County's dried fruits and nuts procurement (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, closed February 5, 2026) and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice prunes bid (IW236532, closed February 20, 2026); both demonstrate state and local demand for shelf-stable dried fruit products delivered to institutional food service operations. School district produce contracts—such as Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, April 27, 2026), Hancock County Board of Education's Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB #SN002-2027, June 26, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's cooperative produce and eggs RFP (SN 26-004, March 4, 2026)—show robust, recurring demand for dried and fresh produce but do not isolate dried santa maria pears as a named line item. No recent opportunities in the source specifically target dried organic santa maria pears as a standalone commodity.
