UNSPSC 50365421: Canned or jarred hosui pears

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

UNSPSC 50365421 Canned or jarred Hosui pears (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity represented in recent opportunities. The UNSPSC code nominally covers a specific preserved pear variety, yet the opportunities posted under or near this code span a much broader range of canned and fresh food products for institutional food service — applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and general food and consumable supplies for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services operations. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts, departments of corrections, health and human services commissions, and boards of education across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (with a historical unit price of $21.84 per case and a 10% combined preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables statewide with a maximum potential value of $4,500,000 over three years and a response deadline in late February 2026, and the Bridgeport Board of Education's June 26, 2026 bid closing for 115 commodity line items including eggs, poultry, cheese, beef, and fruit and vegetable products under the Buy American Provision.

Geographic concentration in recent opportunities spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with school nutrition programs and state institutional food service operations emerging as primary customer segments. School districts in Georgia (Hancock County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD) are actively procuring fresh produce, canned goods, and specialty food items on annual cycles, typically with bid deadlines in late March through April for July 1 contract starts. Large institutional buyers such as the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Oregon Department of Corrections issue open competitive bids with firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery terms, and insurance requirements of $1 million to $2 million in general commercial liability. The code shows light recent activity specific to canned or jarred Hosui pears; the broader canned-fruit and institutional-food-supply market is active, but alignment between this Commodity code and actual solicitation scope is weak.
