UNSPSC 50365441: Canned or jarred rosy red pears

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

UNSPSC 50365441 Canned or jarred rosy red pears (Commodity) is purchased by state and local governments in limited volumes as a constituent product within broader food service supply contracts for institutional meal programs, though recent opportunities show the code's nominal scope—canned pears—rarely appears in isolation and is subsumed instead under generic fruit and food commodity procurements by corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and state institutional facilities. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically requesting canned pears; the closest proxies are broader food and fruit product bids that may or may not include pears as line items, and one February 2026 Oregon Department of Corrections ITB titled "Fruit Pears" (S2910000016081) for which documentation is unavailable, making the actual scope unclear. State and local issuers accessing the code appear to be corrections and institutional care facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Illinois state contracting), school districts of all sizes (Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham, Dallas ISD), and specialized nutrition and food service programs. Pricing in the few tracked opportunities that reference canned fruit generically (such as the Oregon DOC applesauce ITB) hovers near $21.84 per case, suggesting commodity-level cost structure.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and West—Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Illinois show the most recent postings—with school-district-led procurement dominating the activity stream. Representative recent opportunities show a pattern of bundled purchasing: the Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017453 in July 2026 requesting 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with response due July 31, 2026, under an IFB structure with 5% combined state-of-origin and resident-bidder preference; the Texas HHSC issued multiple IFBs (HHS0016792 and HHS0017449) requesting supplemental food and consumable products including canned goods for state hospitals and supported living centers, with contract values reaching $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multi-year terms; and school districts across Fairfax County, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, and Douglas County issued competitive bids throughout the spring of 2026 for fresh produce, grocery items, and food supply, treating canned fruit as one line item among hundreds rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle. Pear-specific demand is not separately tracked in the recent opportunities; the code itself appears to see minimal targeted procurement activity distinct from general food-service commodity categories.
