UNSPSC 50335446: Dried organic sensation pears

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

UNSPSC 50335446 Dried organic sensation pears is a Commodity code reflecting state and local school nutrition procurement of specialty dried fruits and fresh produce for cafeteria operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state departments of education using this code to source fresh produce and dried fruit items alongside broader commodity purchases for child nutrition programs. Work under the code spans both fresh and processed produce — specifically, recent school nutrition IFBs include fresh items such as apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus fruits, and leafy greens, alongside dried fruits such as prunes. School districts, state educational agencies, and departments of criminal justice operate cafeteria systems that purchase these items. The solicitations typically require compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans or USDA compliance certifications, and delivery to multiple designated locations on fixed-price, all-inclusive bids.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 requesting fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with sealed bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items with delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases solicited commodities (including fruit and vegetable products) for the Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center in June 2026 with electronic submissions due June 26, 2026. The State of Georgia issued an IFB on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope contained in an attached document. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T-26-300CF on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations with an extended response deadline of May 4, 2026. A separate TDCJ procurement (Bid IW236532, posted April 2026) specifically targeted whole pitted dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with 1,400 boxes minimum for the Corpus location.
