UNSPSC 50365435: Canned or jarred passe crasanne pears

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

UNSPSC 50365435 Canned or jarred passé crassanne pears is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within the broader state and local food procurement universe. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not reflect procurement of passé crassanne pears specifically; instead, they capture a much wider range of canned and fresh produce, frozen proteins, dairy, and consumable food-service items. State and local governments buying under this nominal code are actually procuring cafeteria staples, institutional nutrition supplies, fresh produce for school meals, supplemental foods for supported living centers and correctional facilities, and emergency food assistance items. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, State of Illinois, State of Georgia), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bridgeport Board of Education), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, Hancock County Board of Education), and city departments (City of Bridgeport). School districts and state health and human services agencies appear most frequently in recent postings. Procurement method varies by issuer—some use RFP, others IFB or ITB, and informal written quotes where volume is modest.

Recent activity spans multiple regions with concentration in the South and Pacific Northwest. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted twice for canned applesauce (ITB S-29100-00017453 due July 31, 2026, and ITB S-29100-00016975 due June 2, 2026, each for roughly 1,900–4,700 cases at approximately $21.83 per case based on prior awards). Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026, with estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million and a three-year potential value of up to $4.5 million; and IFB HHS0016792v2, closed March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million). The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited cafeteria food products across five geographic regions (IFB 304T-26-300CF, extended to May 4, 2026, with 382 line items and delivery to six distribution centers). The State of Illinois posted multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications (due August 24, 2026).

Buy American provisions, prevailing-wage requirements where applicable, and insurance minimums ($500,000–$2 million general commercial liability) are standard across institutional food procurement. Most contracts run one to three years with optional renewals, firm pricing for the initial term, and FOB destination delivery.
