UNSPSC 50335457: Dried organic warden pears

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

UNSPSC 50335457 Dried organic warden pears is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single dried-fruit product line, but state and local government procurement activity under this code shows minimal recent alignment with organic pears specifically. Recent solicitations tagged to this code instead span broad school nutrition and corrections food service procurement — fresh produce, dried fruits and nuts more generally, and complete grocery supply contracts. The code's abstract scope does not match the transactional reality: state and local buyers are procuring comprehensive food service and nutrition supplies across dozens or hundreds of line items, not targeting dried organic pears as a distinct commodity. The issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Georgia), county governments (Santa Clara County, California), and the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut. School districts dominate the recent activity, with nutrition programs driving demand for food products under long-term supply contracts.

Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast and Texas, with recent activity in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), California (Santa Clara County), and Texas (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). Representative recent opportunities include Hancock County Schools Nutrition Fresh Produce SY27 (IFB, due June 26, 2026) for over 200 produce line items across three school delivery sites; Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) for grocery supply to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; and the County of Santa Clara Dried Fruits and Nuts (ITB-PRC-FY26-0617, due February 5, 2026) for raisins, cranberries, tropical fruit mix, walnuts, and pecans to a correctional facility. None of these solicitations specifically target dried organic warden pears, indicating the code assignment is a data quality issue rather than an active procurement category.
