UNSPSC 50375403: Canned or jarred organic asian pears

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

UNSPSC 50375403 Canned or jarred organic asian pears, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement that sees limited recent solicitation activity tied specifically to this designation. The recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for organic asian pears; instead, state and local buyers are procuring broad food-service categories that may include canned fruit as line items within larger purchases of shelf-stable or fresh produce. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned proteins, vegetables, and other staples under IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026 (RFQ method); the Oregon Department of Corrections issued separate ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 and S2910000016975) with bids due July 31 and June 2, 2026, respectively; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought supplemental food and consumable products statewide for state hospitals and supported living centers under IFB HHS0016792V2, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. Issuing bodies include state departments (Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education (Hancock County, Georgia), county commissions (Gwinnett County, Georgia), city governments (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and school districts (Austin Independent School District, Texas); most food procurement flows through nutrition centers, correctional facilities, state supported living centers, and institutional food service operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with additional solicitations in Illinois, Connecticut, and Texas. The Oregon Department of Corrections' canned applesauce ITB offers the most directly comparable precedent to this code—applesauce being canned fruit packed in juice, water, or light syrup with minimum one-year shelf life and compliance with USDA 2011 commodity specifications—with pricing historically around $21.84 per case for approximately 4,760 cases (full truck loads to Salem, Oregon). The Texas HHSC procurement for supplemental food and consumables encompassed 210 line items including canned fruits and vegetables with firm fixed pricing and delivery to point of consumption. However, no recent state or local solicitations name organic asian pears specifically, nor do they consistently isolate canned fruit as a standalone category separate from broader food-service contracts. Vendors entering this commodity should expect competition primarily through institutional food-service aggregations—school districts, correctional facilities, state agencies, and county nutrition centers—where pricing is firm-fixed, delivery is FOB destination, and Buy American provisions or domestic-content requirements often apply.
