UNSPSC 50365432: Canned or jarred onward pears

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

UNSPSC 50365432 Canned or jarred onward pears is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—preserved pears in rigid containers—diverges sharply from what state and local governments are actually buying under the associated opportunities. The recent solicitations tagged to this code cover canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), supplemental food products across multiple categories (Illinois and Texas state agencies), fresh produce (multiple school districts in Georgia), and broad grocery procurement (Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, and Texas). None of these opportunities center on pears; only one procurement opportunity (Oregon Department of Corrections, solicitation S2910000016081, posted February 20, 2026, due March 6, 2026) references pears by name, but substantive details from that solicitation were not provided. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated commodity.

State and local procurement under this code, insofar as the data supports inference, flows through school districts (Rockwood R-VI, Fairfax County, Austin ISD, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County, Dallas ISD), state corrections departments (Oregon), state health agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois CPO), and county school systems (Hancock County). Opportunities span IFB and RFP notice types with response dates ranging from late February through early August 2026. The geographic spread extends across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Missouri, Connecticut, Illinois, and Virginia, with school nutrition programs representing the dominant category of recent solicitation activity. However, because the tagged opportunities address applesauce, dried fruit products, broad food supply, and produce rather than preserved pears, this code warrants careful review of actual RFP language before pursuit; the UNSPSC tag may reflect administrative convenience rather than commodity alignment.
