UNSPSC 50365439: Canned or jarred rocha pears

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

UNSPSC 50365439 Canned or jarred rocha pears (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within canned and preserved fruit procurement by state and local governments, though the recent solicitation activity tagged under this code shows little direct alignment with rocha pears specifically. Instead, state and local buyers are procuring a broader range of canned and preserved fruit products, including applesauce, dried fruit bars, and supplemental food items for institutional food service operations. The issuing bodies span state departments of corrections, school nutrition programs, health and human services agencies, and boards of education across multiple states. Work solicited under codes in this family typically involves fixed-price supply contracts with firm pricing for institutional food service delivery, often requiring FDA and USDA compliance, specific shelf life and packaging standards, and FOB destination delivery to centralized distribution centers or individual school sites.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri, with the Oregon Department of Corrections posting multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (most recently S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975, closed June 2, 2026) at historical pricing around $21.84 per case for approximately 4,760 cases annually. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued overlapping IFBs for supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792V2, closed March 19, 2026, and HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026) with historical contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million annually. School districts including Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, and districts in Georgia and Missouri are procuring food products through RFPs and IFBs with delivery to central warehouses or school sites, though most recent school nutrition solicitations target broader commodity categories (fresh produce, grocery items, proteins) rather than preserved fruit. The code itself sees limited recent activity specifically for canned rocha pears; the single opportunity posted under this code (S2910000016081, February 20, 2026, due March 6, 2026) by the Oregon Department of Corrections lacks sufficient detail in the available documentation to characterize its scope.
