UNSPSC 50365442: Canned or jarred royal majestic pears

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

UNSPSC 50365442 Canned or jarred royal majestic pears, a Commodity code, names a narrow product line that state and local governments procure as part of larger food-service supply contracts for institutional nutrition programs. The code does not appear as a standalone solicitation line in recent state and local procurement; instead, canned and jarred pears fall within broader food-commodity categories solicited by school districts, county human services departments, state correctional and health facilities, and municipal nutrition centers. The actual purchasing under this code occurs through multi-line-item IFBs and RFPs where canned fruit (including pears) competes alongside canned vegetables, proteins, and other shelf-stable staples as one of many line items offered by food distributors responding to institutional food-service bids.

Recent activity spans multiple states and issuing bodies, including Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia), the State of Illinois, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Austin Independent School District (Texas), the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The geographic distribution includes Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and fruits) due October 19, 2026; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy under brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications with proposals due August 24, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 supplemental food and consumables IFB covering 210 line items of fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products across state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide; and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's May 2026 IFB for cafeteria food products spanning approximately 382 line items across five geographic warehouse distribution areas. Canned fruit such as applesauce has appeared as standalone or consolidated line items in Oregon Department of Corrections bids (ITBs S-29100-00017453 in July 2026 and S2910000016975 in May 2026, each covering approximately 1,900–4,760 cases delivered to Salem). School nutrition programs, state facilities, and county human services departments remain the primary buyers, with multi-line-item institutional food contracts the dominant vehicle for procurement.
