UNSPSC 50335455: Dried organic tientsin pears

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

UNSPSC 50335455 Dried organic tientsin pears (Commodity) represents a narrow, specialized produce category within state and local food procurement that appears primarily through school nutrition and institutional food service operations rather than as a standalone commodity driving independent solicitations. Recent state and local opportunities show that school districts and correctional facilities source dried fruit products—including dried tientsin pears alongside dried cranberries, raisins, tropical fruit blends, walnuts, and pecans—as components of broader fresh produce, grocery staple, or specialized dried-fruit procurement efforts. The code sits within larger institutional food service ecosystems where dried fruits function as shelf-stable nutritional items for cafeterias and detention facilities rather than as high-volume consumer staples. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from 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); institutional corrections procurement also appears, as seen in Santa Clara County's dried fruit solicitation for its detention facility food services and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's broader cafeteria-food procurement spanning dried prunes and other staple items.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states—Georgia school districts are notably active—with secondary activity in California (Santa Clara County) and Texas (TDCJ). Representative recent opportunities include Santa Clara County's Invitation to Bids (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617) posted January 28, 2026, for dried fruits and nuts to support correctional facility food services, specifying dried raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans on an all-or-none basis with deliveries due by February 5, 2026; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Bid No. IW236532 (posted April 23, 2026; response due February 20, 2026) for whole, pitted, dried prunes in U.S. Grade B quality with a minimum order of 1,400 boxes; and the Rockwood R-VI School District's broader Child Nutrition Services Grocery Items procurement (posted March 31, 2026; bids due April 29, 2026) encompassing over 900 line items including dried fruits as component items within comprehensive school food supply contracts. Dried tientsin pears specifically do not appear as standalone line items in the available recent opportunities; the commodity code shows minimal activity and may reflect legacy taxonomy rather than current procurement demand in state and local markets.
