UNSPSC 50365424: Canned or jarred juno pears

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

UNSPSC 50365424 Canned or jarred juno pears is a Commodity code that encompasses the procurement of canned and jarred fruit products by state and local governments, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows limited direct relevance to pears; instead, state and local buyers are actively soliciting canned fruit products more broadly, including applesauce and other preserved fruits, alongside fresh produce, dried fruit items, and comprehensive food-service portfolios. The code reflects purchasing for institutional food service operations—correctional facilities, school districts, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals—where preserved fruits supply ongoing meal-preparation needs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county and municipal school districts, and independent school districts, with activity concentrated among school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent opportunities show a mix of single-commodity procurements (such as canned applesauce in bulk cases) and line-item-based food service contracts where canned or jarred fruits appear as one component among hundreds of food and supply items.

Geographic spread of recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with school districts the dominant issuing body. 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 to be delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem, Oregon at $21.84 per case historically; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products including canned fruit items at the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical spend of $1.5 million for the prior contract year. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 (posted April 6, 2026, due April 27, 2026) for Master Grocery K-12 term contract covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries. Activity under this code reflects demand-driven, ongoing food-service supply with firm fixed pricing structures, Buy American or domestic-content preferences, standard insurance and compliance certifications, and contract terms running one to three years with renewal options.
