UNSPSC 50365414: Canned or jarred d'anjou pears

The variety of pears known as d'anjou pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365414 Canned or jarred d'anjou pears (Commodity) describes specialty fruit products that state and local governments rarely procure directly; recent solicitations tagged with this code actually solicit broad-spectrum food service supply, much of it unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 for canned applesauce—a comparable preserved fruit category—with bids due July 31, 2026, but school districts, state health and human services agencies, and corrections departments across the source dataset predominantly solicit fresh produce, frozen entrees, dairy, proteins, and bulk grocery items rather than specific canned fruit products. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments (Oregon DOC, Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO, Georgia Department of Education), county school systems (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Hancock County in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham in Georgia; Fairfax County in Virginia), city boards of education (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Bridgeport Board of Education), and special nutrition programs serving state hospitals and state supported living centers across multiple states. Repeat buyers for food procurement appear in Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham), Texas (HHSC statewide, Dallas ISD, TDCJ), and school districts nationwide.

Geographic activity spans Texas (HHSC statewide, Dallas ISD, Bridgeport), Georgia (Douglas County, Muscogee County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham), Oregon (DOC), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Illinois (CPO), and scattered other jurisdictions. Representative opportunities include the Oregon DOC applesauce ITB (July 31, 2026 response date, approximately 4,760 cases over five truck loads at historical pricing of $21.84 per case), the Texas HHSC supplemental food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, covering 210+ line items across multiple food categories with a prior-period value of $1.5 million), and the Douglas County School System food supply RFP 26-003 (due February 18, 2026, seeking a main-line distributor for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000). The code shows little relevant recent activity focused on canned d'anjou pears specifically; the applesauce and broader food procurements indicate that when state and local agencies use this commodity code, they are acquiring general preserved fruit and bulk food service supply rather than a discrete specialty product.
