UNSPSC 50365452 Canned or jarred sunsprite pears is a Commodity code, and the recent activity shows this code tags a broader range of canned and jarred fruit products than its name suggests. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying canned applesauce, canned fruit generally, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and other food service items for correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and state health and human services facilities. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts, state corrections and health agencies, and county boards of education. School districts dominate the activity, with multiple districts (Rockwood R-VI, Austin ISD, Savannah-Chatham, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Fairfax County Public Schools, and Douglas County) soliciting food products for child nutrition programs in the past six months. State agencies including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office, and the Georgia Board of Education also solicit regularly under or near this code. Counties and municipalities appear less frequently but represent meaningful volume—Hancock County Schools and the City of Bridgeport Board of Education are recent issuers.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut showing the most recent volume. The largest recent solicitation was the Douglas County School System's RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services (estimated $9 million annually for 32 schools), issued January 21, 2026, with proposals due February 18, 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections posted ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce on July 10, 2026, due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined Oregon-goods and Oregon-headquartered-bidder preference. Texas HHSC issued IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products covering the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million (September 2025–August 2026) and proposals due July 13, 2026. The code shows active, recurring procurement with firm contract terms, Buy American requirements in school contexts, and preference programs in Oregon. Canned fruit specifically appears in correctional and institutional food service contexts; broader canned-and-jarred-fruit purchasing is subordinate to fresh produce and main-line grocery procurement by school nutrition programs.
