UNSPSC 50365418: Canned or jarred forelle pears

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

UNSPSC 50365418 Canned or jarred forelle pears is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of canned and jarred fruit products used in institutional food service, particularly school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and health and human services dining operations. While the code's nominal scope identifies forelle pears specifically, recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code actually buy a broader range of canned and jarred fruit items—applesauce, mixed fruits, and other preserved fruit products—alongside fresh produce, dried fruit bars, and comprehensive grocery supply contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Austin Independent School District, Dallas ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Rockwood School District) and state agencies managing institutional food service (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Illinois Chief Procurement Office). State supported living centers and correctional facilities represent a secondary but consistent purchasing cohort. No single buyer appears with outsized frequency; activity is distributed across multiple independent and consolidated school districts and state departments.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest, with Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Muscogee County school systems), Texas (Dallas ISD, HHSC, TDCJ), and Oregon (Department of Corrections) showing the most recent solicitation volume; secondary activity appears in Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at $21.84 per case delivered to Salem; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products with a historical annual value of $1.5 million for the El Paso State Supported Living Center; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Most solicitations are issued as IFB, RFP, or ITB with firm-fixed-price or cost-plus models, delivery within 30–45 days standard, and Buy American compliance required where applicable. The code shows robust activity suitable for established food service distributors and regional suppliers with institutional warehouse and logistics capability.
