UNSPSC 50365404: Canned or jarred bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50365404 Canned or jarred Bartlett pears, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within food service procurement, though recent state and local opportunities show that jurisdictions tagging purchases under this code are actually buying a much broader spectrum of canned and shelf-stable fruit products—applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed grocery items—rather than Bartlett pears specifically. The issuing bodies soliciting under this category span school districts (Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, multiple Georgia and Missouri districts), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and municipal boards of education (Bridgeport Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System). Oregon Department of Corrections and Texas HHSC/DSHS appear as repeat buyers. The code sees active procurement across multiple regions, with concentrated activity in Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Oregon, Connecticut, and other states where school nutrition programs and institutional food service drive regular commodity purchasing.

School districts dominate the opportunity flow, with most purchasing structured as annual or multi-year term contracts on firm-fixed-price FOB destination terms, prepaid freight, and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites on set schedules.
