UNSPSC 50365446: Canned or jarred sensation pears

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

UNSPSC 50365446 Canned or jarred sensation pears, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The one solicitation explicitly tagging this code—Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 (posted February 20, 2026, due March 6, 2026)—names "Fruit Pears" but provides no substantive specification details; the associated procurement document was not made available. The remaining opportunities in the dataset, though tagged with the code by the source, solicit canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, frozen entrees, eggs, and broad food-service commodity bundles—none of which match the narrow scope of canned or jarred pears. Without concrete examples of recent work actually being procured under this Commodity code, the market signal is thin.

The geographic and issuing-body mix in the dataset spans Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Illinois, and Missouri across corrections departments, health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal boards of education, but none of these opportunities are genuine pear-procurement solicitations. Buyers in state and local food service—from institutional feeding programs at correctional facilities and hospitals to school nutrition services—do procure canned fruit as a shelf-stable commodity, and the Oregon Corrections solicitation suggests standing demand for canned applesauce at roughly $21.84 per case in firm, fixed-price contracts with firm shelf-life and USDA compliance requirements. If pears are procured under the same terms and through similar channels as canned applesauce, the operational model would track: unit pricing, FOB destination prepaid, minimum one-year shelf life, bulk deliveries in truck loads, and compliance with USDA 2011 commodity specifications. However, the source does not support a summary of actual recent pear-procurement activity, and forcing a connection between this code and the food-service opportunities in the dataset would misrepresent the available evidence.
