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) covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations across correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show buyers purchasing canned fruit applesauce, dried fruit bars, and broader commodity baskets that include canned pears and similar preserved fruits as line items within larger food procurement efforts. Issuing bodies are primarily state departments of corrections and health services, county school districts, municipal school systems, and state health and human services agencies. The code sees solicitation activity across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, reflecting routine replenishment cycles rather than concentrated demand at any single buyer.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITBs for canned applesauce (approximately 4,760 cases in July 2026 and 1,904 cases in May 2026, each with historical pricing around $21.83 per case, FOB destination to Salem); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables including preserved fruits statewide (IFB HHS0017449 due July 2026, with prior period historical value of $1.5 million); Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned items for delivery to Lawrenceville, Georgia (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026); and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issued multiple brand-specific and brand-or-equal weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (proposals due August 24 and June 17, 2026). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Board of Education solicited 115 line items of commodities including fruit products (due June 26, 2026). All contracts require FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA and FDA standards, product liability insurance, and generally firm pricing for the contract term.
