UNSPSC 50335453: Dried organic taylors gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50335453 Dried organic taylors gold pears, a Commodity code, covers dried fruit products sold to school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local buyers under this code—primarily school districts and corrections departments—purchase dried fruit as shelf-stable commodities for cafeteria meal programs and nutrition centers, often bundled with broader fresh and processed food procurement rather than as standalone line items. The recent opportunities show dried fruit embedded within large multi-category food solicitations where buyers specify case sizes, unit counts, USDA grade certifications, and shelf-life requirements; the code itself is narrow, but the buying organizations treat dried fruit as one component of annual nutrition procurement cycles governed by Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed products.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, and Connecticut based on recent solicitations. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (Statewide Procurement Division) posted IFB No. 304T-26-300CF on May 4, 2026 (response due date originally April 21, 2026, extended to May 4, 2026 via Addendum No. 2) for cafeteria food products including dried fruit and specialty items across five geographic distribution areas supplying TDCJ warehouse locations statewide.
