UNSPSC 50335451: Dried organic sun gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50335451 Dried organic sun gold pears is a Commodity code that represents fresh and dried fruit products procured by state and local school nutrition programs and correctional facilities to support meal service operations. The recent opportunities under this code show that issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—spanning Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia—along with one county correctional facility (Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office in California) and one state correctional agency (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). School nutrition procurement dominates the category, with districts soliciting comprehensive annual food supply contracts that bundle fresh produce, dried fruits, nuts, and related staple items to feed student populations ranging from roughly 6,900 to 25,500 daily meal participants. The Texas TDCJ also procures dried fruits (whole pitted dried prunes) and a variety of other food products for inmate meal service.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, which accounts for four recent school district solicitations (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, and Douglas County through the GEC cooperative), with additional activity in Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), California (Santa Clara County), Texas (TDCJ), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026) soliciting over 200 line items across apple varieties, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce for delivery to three school locations; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering grocery products for 45 schools plus distribution kitchens with minimum 76-item responsive bid requirement; Douglas County School System's GEC cooperative RFP for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026) spanning 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 to $1.1 million by area; and Santa Clara County's ITB for dried fruits and nuts (due February 5, 2026) serving a correctional facility on an all-or-none, five-year contract basis. All solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP food safety plans, firm fixed pricing for the contract term, and delivery to multiple dispersed locations on fixed weekly schedules.
