UNSPSC 50375406: Canned or jarred organic beth pears

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

UNSPSC 50375406 Canned or jarred organic beth pears is a Commodity code; state and local governments rarely solicit under this code for the specific product, but instead purchase canned and jarred fruit products—including canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—through their food service operations for institutional meal programs. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for canned or jarred organic pears; instead, the code appears misaligned with actual state and local procurement activity in food service contracting. Issuing bodies soliciting food products include state agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), school districts (Austin Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System), cities (City of Bridgeport), and counties (Muscogee County School District). Food service contracting for institutional settings dominates the market: the Oregon Department of Corrections has issued multiple ITBs for canned applesauce (S2910000017453 due July 31, 2026, and S2910000016975 due June 2, 2026), while Texas HHS and DSHS have procured supplemental food and consumables statewide (HHS0016792, HHS0016792V2, HHS0017449) covering 210+ line items across fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated products. School districts represent the highest volume of recent activity, issuing RFPs and IFBs for grocery items, fresh produce, and prepared foods across multiple states.

Geographic concentration spans Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia, with Texas and Georgia showing the most recent and highest-volume solicitations. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have issued multiple solicitations for food service products statewide, while Georgia school districts (Douglas County, Liberty County, Hancock County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County) have posted fresh produce and food product bids throughout early 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017453 for canned applesauce (due July 31, 2026) with historical pricing of $21.84 per case for 4,760 cases; the Texas HHS IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026) with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million; the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million; and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026) spanning 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens. The code shows no recent activity specifically for canned or jarred organic pears and appears to be a taxonomy mismatch with current state and local procurement demand.
