The variety of pears known as red d'anjou pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50365438 Canned or jarred red d'anjou pears is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned fruit products, primarily for institutional food service operations including schools, correctional facilities, seniors programs, and health and human services facilities. Recent opportunities show procurement focused on bulk quantities of canned fruit in various preparations—applesauce, mixed fruit, and other canned produce—integrated into broader food-supply contracts that bundle proteins, vegetables, dairy, and related consumables. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, county human services departments, city nutrition centers, and state-supported living facilities. The code sees activity from a diverse set of public jurisdictions across multiple states, with no single repeat buyer standing out in the recent record; opportunities reflect routine institutional food service replenishment at both the state and local level.

The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026), with historical pricing around $21.83 per case and standing 5 percent Oregon-goods and Oregon-resident preferences.
