UNSPSC 50365450: Canned or jarred summer gold pears

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

UNSPSC 50365450 Canned or jarred summer gold pears, a Commodity code, represents a narrow shelf-stable food product that state and local governments procure as part of broader institutional food service operations — most commonly for corrections facilities, senior services, school nutrition programs, and state-supported living centers. The recent solicitations show government buyers treating this code as one line item within larger food-commodity procurements spanning dozens or hundreds of SKUs, with purchases denominated in cases rather than individual units. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state corrections departments, county boards of education and county senior services divisions, state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities, independent school districts, and municipal boards of education. The Oregon Department of Corrections and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice appear as repeat buyers of canned fruit products in the recent record.
