UNSPSC 50365447: Canned or jarred star crimson pears

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

UNSPSC 50365447 Canned or jarred star crimson pears is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities block shows minimal procurement activity specifically matched to this product line. Instead, the sourced opportunities reflect a broader pattern of state and local governments buying shelf-stable and fresh fruit products as components of large food-service and nutrition programs rather than as standalone commodity buys of a single pear variety. The Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and various county boards of education are procuring canned applesauce, fresh produce assortments, and mixed food inventories under IFBs and RFPs, but none of the recent solicitations explicitly name star crimson pears or reference the specific UNSPSC code. The issuing bodies span state departments (corrections, health and human services, education), county boards of education, city nutrition programs, and school districts across multiple states. These agencies use a mix of IFBs, RFPs, and informal quote requests (IWQs) to source food supplies, typically emphasizing Buy American provisions, brand-or-equal flexibility, firm fixed pricing, and FOB destination delivery.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Schools, State of Georgia), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Texas (HHSC, TDCJ, Austin ISD), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative solicitations include Gwinnett County's October 2026 IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods with a response date of October 19, the Oregon Department of Corrections' July 2026 ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with a July 31 deadline and historical pricing at $21.84 per case, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's May 2026 IFB for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables with a maximum three-year contract value of $4.5 million. The code itself—star crimson pears specifically—does not appear in any recent opportunity summary or scope description, suggesting either minimal recent state and local procurement demand for this product or misclassification of opportunities in the database.
