UNSPSC 50365403: Canned or jarred asian pears

The variety of pears known as asian pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365403 Canned or jarred asian pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within preserved fruit procurement; however, recent state and local solicitations show minimal activity tagged specifically to this code. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026 (due July 31, 2026) for canned fruit applesauce—a similar preserved-fruit commodity—specifying compliance with USDA 2011 commodity specifications, delivery in truck-load quantities to Salem, and a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales. An earlier Oregon Department of Corrections ITB from May 18, 2026, also targeted canned applesauce (1,904 cases across two truckloads), with historical pricing at $21.827 per case and awards previously made to MJ Kellner. Oregon applies a combined 10 percent preference (5 percent for goods fabricated or processed in Oregon, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders) to both solicitations. The code appears primarily in state-level procurement for institutional food service—specifically corrections departments—rather than school districts or municipalities, suggesting a specialized buyer base concentrated in state agency supply chains.

Geographic activity centers on Oregon, where the Department of Corrections represents the sole identified recent buyer under this commodity-level code. The narrow posting frequency and limited jurisdictional footprint indicate this is a low-volume, low-frequency category. Firms with USDA commodity-compliant canned-fruit supply chains and relationships with state corrections departments in the Pacific Northwest may find occasional bidding opportunities, but the code generates infrequent solicitations and does not show the broad multi-jurisdiction activity typical of higher-volume food-service commodities. Vendors should monitor Oregon procurement channels and similar state-level facilities-management procurement vehicles for sporadic demand.
