UNSPSC 50365407: Canned or jarred beurre pears

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

UNSPSC 50365407 Canned or jarred beurre pears (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity; instead, the code shows tagged opportunities for canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad-category food and consumable products for institutional food service, indicating a mismatch between the code's narrow scope and actual buying patterns under this classification.

State and local governments are soliciting canned and jarred fruit products—primarily applesauce and fresh produce—through school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services agencies, and state institutions. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued an ITB on July 10, 2026, for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (response deadline July 31, 2026), delivered in five truck loads to Salem; historical pricing was $21.84 per case with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-bidder preference. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products (including canned goods) for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide under IFB HHS0016792 and HHS0017449, covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts dominate the market, with Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and multiple Georgia school systems (Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Douglas County, Muscogee County, Hancock County) issuing RFPs and IFBs for grocery and fresh-produce supply covering hundreds of line items annually. The code shows activity concentrated in school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health agencies across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, Missouri, and Connecticut, with the most recent opportunities posted between February and July 2026. The actual buying under this code emphasizes broad food-service supply (fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, canned goods, and specialty items) rather than the narrow category of canned pears alone, suggesting the code assignment reflects generic food-commodity tagging rather than category-specific procurement intent.
