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 that nominally names a single produce item, but the recent opportunities tagged under it reflect broader school nutrition procurement activity spanning fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, and pantry staples rather than dried pears specifically. State and local school districts, county boards of education, state departments of criminal justice, and county corrections facilities are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code. Recent opportunities show districts and facilities purchasing comprehensive grocery and produce inventories to support cafeteria operations, with school nutrition programs dominating the activity.
