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

UNSPSC 50365459 Canned or jarred Williams pears, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement—specifically preserved pears in containers destined for institutional kitchens, cafeterias, and food distribution centers. State and local governments buy canned pears through school districts, correctional departments, state health and human services agencies, and institutional care facilities; the recent solicitations show demand from Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and multiple school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Connecticut, and Virginia. The work solicited is straightforward supply of shelf-stable fruit inventory meeting USDA commodity specifications, typically in cases of 24–48 units, FOB destination with firm fixed pricing and minimum one-year shelf life at delivery. Issuing bodies span state-level procurement offices (Texas HHSC, State of Illinois), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and city-level school systems (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, and the City of Bridgeport serving its Board of Education). Oregon Department of Corrections appears as a repeat buyer, having posted at least two separate canned fruit solicitations within the recent window.

The code shows concentrated recent activity in the South (Georgia school districts dominating the pipeline), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon DOC), and Texas (HHSC facilities statewide). Representative opportunities include Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a combined 10 percent Oregon preference (5 percent for goods, 5 percent for Oregon-headquartered bidders); Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with historical annual value of $1.5 million across multiple commodity lines; and Hancock County Board of Education IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items due June 26, 2026, with delivery to three school locations July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content appear frequently in school district RFPs and ITBs.
