UNSPSC 50375401: Canned or jarred organic abate fetel pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic abate fetel pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375401 Canned or jarred organic abate fetel pears is a Commodity code that captures state and local government purchases of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, though recent solicitation activity under this code is sparse and reflects broader food commodity procurement rather than purchases narrowly targeted to this specific variety. The issuing bodies soliciting food products at this tier span county boards of education, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, city school nutrition programs, and county senior services offices. Work under the code encompasses food service supply contracts for correctional facilities, state supported living centers, senior centers, schools, and other institutional food operations. Most recent opportunities pursue sealed-bid and informal-quote methods for volume purchases of shelf-stable and refrigerated food items delivered to central distribution centers or facility warehouses, with pricing evaluated on firm unit rates and awards made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders or on best-value criteria.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Upper Midwest, with recent solicitations from Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners and the State of Georgia), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Austin Independent School District), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, at $21.84 per case historically; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026, with an estimated historical annual value of $1.5 million; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026. Most contracts run annual or multi-year terms with renewal options and require FOB destination delivery, compliance with USDA commodity or food safety standards, commercial liability insurance, and firm pricing that remains fixed through the initial contract period.
