UNSPSC 50365433: Canned or jarred packham's triumph pears

The variety of pears known as packham's triumph pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365433 Canned or jarred Packham's triumph pears is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses canned and jarred fruit products broadly—not pears exclusively—purchased by state correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and state hospitals across multiple jurisdictions for food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers consistently procuring canned applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and other shelf-stable fruit products under this code or closely related commodity classifications, with purchase volumes typically measured in cases or truckloads and delivery to central warehouses or individual school sites. The issuing-body mix includes state departments of corrections, independent school districts, state health and human services commissions, county boards of education, and regional buying cooperatives, with school nutrition programs appearing as repeat procurement actors across multiple states. Oregon's Department of Corrections has posted multiple solicitations for canned fruit applesauce; Texas facilities (HHSC, TDCJ) and Georgia school systems have solicited across broader food product ranges that include canned fruits as line items within larger grocery or commodity contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut, with scattered activity in Illinois and other states. Representative solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, delivered FOB destination to Salem in five truck loads; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products across multiple NIGP categories to supply state-supported living centers and health services facilities, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million; and the Hancock County Board of Education IFB (due June 26, 2026) for fresh produce spanning multiple line items for the 2026–27 school year, part of a broader school nutrition procurement pattern. Canned fruit products typically compete on delivered pricing inclusive of freight, shelf life (minimum one year common), USDA compliance, and compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable. Bid cycles are frequent—multiple school districts post annually for the upcoming fiscal year beginning July 1—and response windows typically run 30 to 60 days from posting.
