UNSPSC 50365415: Canned or jarred dr jules guyot pears

The variety of pears known as dr jules guyot pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365415 Canned or jarred dr jules guyot pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure primarily as part of broader institutional food service operations rather than as a standalone item; recent solicitations show the code's activity subsumed within larger canned-fruit, fresh-produce, and grocery buys for correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals. School districts and state agencies dominate recent procurement activity under food-service commodity codes in this family, with school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, and Dallas Independent School District in Texas) and state correctional and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and Douglas County School System operating the GEC Buying Cooperative) appearing most frequently. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026), which called for 4,760 cases at a historical price of $21.84 per case with a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preference; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016792V2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide (due March 19, 2026, subsequently extended), which encompassed 210 line items including canned and frozen foods for state hospitals and supported living centers, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South (Georgia, Texas), Pacific Northwest (Oregon), and Midwest (Missouri, Illinois), with Texas and Georgia showing the highest recent solicitation volume. School nutrition programs dominate the commodity side—multiple Georgia school districts (Savannah-Chatham County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Douglas County) issued produce and food-service RFPs or IFBs between February and June 2026 with contract periods aligned to the 2026-27 school year (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), while Texas school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD) and correctional agencies issued broader food-supply solicitations in the same window. Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content appear consistently across school district RFPs and IFBs, and state-specific preferences (Oregon's 10 percent combined preference for state goods and resident bidders in ODOC solicitations; Texas HUBZone or subcontracting encouragement in HHSC and DSHS procurements) recur in state agency buys. Pricing structures typically require firm fixed prices for the full contract term, with FOB destination and all-inclusive delivery charges mandated; school district contracts commonly allow midterm price adjustments only upon documented manufacturer increases of 5 percent or greater, while state agency procurements (HHSC, ODOC, TDCJ) specify similar price-firm terms with limited redetermination windows tied to renewal periods or indexed cost measures. The code itself sees limited standalone activity—most canned-pear procurement surfaces within broader food-service line-item portfolios rather than dedicated solicitations, suggesting low pursuit potential as a primary commodity unless bundled into larger institutional-grocery or food-service management opportunities.
