UNSPSC 50365413: Canned or jarred crimson red pears

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

UNSPSC 50365413 Canned or jarred crimson red pears is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable fruit products that state and local governments procure primarily for institutional food service — school cafeterias, correctional facilities, senior service centers, state hospitals, and supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code applied to broader food categories, with canned and jarred fruit appearing as line items within larger multi-category food and consumable RFQs and IFBs rather than as standalone pear-specific procurements. The issuing bodies span state corrections and health departments, county boards of education and commissioners' purchasing offices, city nutrition services, and school districts. State agencies dominate the activity, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice each posting multiple opportunities in the past six months.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut all posting food-service solicitations between May and October 2026. Representative opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins) via IFB with a due date of October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing an ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453) with a due date of July 31, 2026 and a historical award price of $21.84 per case; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting supplemental food and consumables including fresh, frozen, and canned products statewide under IFB HHS0016792V2 with a bid deadline of March 19, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $4,500,000 over three years.
