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 covering shelf-stable canned and jarred produce that state and local governments procure primarily for food service operations across institutional settings. Recent solicitations show demand for canned fruit products — applesauce, dried fruit bars, and mixed fresh and processed produce — procured by county nutrition departments, state corrections systems, school districts, state health agencies, and municipal school boards. While the code name specifies organic beth pears, current opportunities under this taxonomy actually reflect broader canned fruit and processed produce procurement driven by institutional meal programs, food banks, and senior services operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county boards of education (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), and municipal procurement offices (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases).

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut, with Georgia showing the highest frequency across recent postings.
