UNSPSC 50335449: Dried organic summer bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50335449 Dried organic summer bartlett pears (Commodity) does not correspond to the scope of work reflected in recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses a single varietal of dried pear, yet the opportunities tagged to it span fresh produce, eggs, dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix), nuts (walnuts, pecans), and institutional food service distribution across school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and USDA commodity systems. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix — Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) — alongside state procurement offices (Georgia, Texas), county sheriffs (Santa Clara, California), and municipal boards of education (Bridgeport, Connecticut). The mismatch between the nominal commodity code and the actual procurement scope suggests either systematic miscoding or aggregation of food service commodities under a single code identifier in certain state and local systems.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in Texas, Virginia, Missouri, Connecticut, and California. Representative opportunities include Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (June 26, 2026 response due, spanning 200+ line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, and specialty fruits), the City of Bridgeport's commodities solicitation for the Board of Education Nutrition Center (June 26, 2026 response, 115 line items across eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and produce), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative servicing 30 districts in two Georgia areas (March 4, 2026 response, approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend across both areas), and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts to the Sheriff's Department Correction facility (February 5, 2026 response, five line items on all-or-none basis with five-year firm pricing in Year 1). Most school nutrition procurements mandate Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP plans, E-Verify compliance, and firm fixed pricing for twelve-month contract terms with optional renewals. The code shows activity but carries significant miscoding risk; confirm actual commodity scope with issuing jurisdictions before pursuing.
