UNSPSC 50365430: Canned or jarred mountain bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50365430 Canned or jarred mountain Bartlett pears is a Commodity code that addresses specialized processed fruit items, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct solicitation for pears themselves; instead, issuing bodies are buying canned and processed fruit products more broadly—applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and mixed food service supplies—suggesting the code captures a narrow product line within a much larger ecosystem of institutional food procurement.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service contracts span school districts, corrections departments, health and human services facilities, and municipal nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026, historical price $21.84 per case), Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and distribution centers (due April 27, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide across state hospitals and supported living centers (maximum value $4.5 million over three years), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's bid for 72 fresh produce items including processed single-serve items (due April 23, 2026). The activity is heavily concentrated in school nutrition programs and institutional food service, with secondary activity from state corrections and health agencies. Geographic spread is wide but centers on Texas, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Missouri, and the mid-Atlantic. Most solicitations specify firm-fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, Buy American compliance, and firm prices for the contract term; school districts dominate the issuing-body count with state agencies running supplemental procurement for larger institutional networks.
