UNSPSC 50335456: Dried organic tosca pears

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

UNSPSC 50335456 Dried organic tosca pears is a Commodity code that captures school nutrition procurement and institutional food service sourcing for dried and fresh produce. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts and state correctional departments that supply cafeteria and nutrition centers with packaged produce items alongside broader fresh and processed food categories. The work involves responding to IFB and RFP notices for produce supply contracts with firm fixed pricing, compliance with Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed items), HACCP food safety plans, and delivery to multiple institutional locations on set schedules. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut both active in this market; state-level procurement also occurs, as evidenced by Georgia's statewide food procurement and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's multi-warehouse supply contracts for cafeteria food products.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and Northeast. Hancock County Schools (Georgia) posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items including apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, melons, and citrus for delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted an IFB on June 2, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for 115 line items of commodities including produce and proteins for the Board of Education Nutrition Center on a firm-fixed price basis through June 30, 2027. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice issued an IFB on May 4, 2026, originally due April 21 and extended via addendum to May 4, 2026, for approximately 382 cafeteria food product line items across five geographic warehouse areas with optional one-year renewals through August 31, 2029. A separate TDCJ solicitation (IW236532) issued in April 2026 targeted dried prunes specifically at a Corpus Christi location with a February 20, 2026, response date. Contracts typically run one fiscal year with optional renewals at the buyer's discretion, payment terms of Net 30 to Net 45 days, and award to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or best-value selections.
