UNSPSC 50375407: Canned or jarred organic beurre pears

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

UNSPSC 50375407 Canned or jarred organic beurre pears (Commodity) is a narrowly defined food product code that state and local governments source as part of broader institutional food procurement rather than as a standalone category. Recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal that state and local buyers purchase canned and jarred shelf-stable fruits — including applesauce, mixed fruits, and other preserved produce — primarily for correctional facilities, veterans homes, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, county senior services, and board of education food service operations. The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia), municipal school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas, City of Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), and state-supported institutional facilities. Canned and jarred fruit items appear as line items within larger food and consumable RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs rather than as standalone procurements; vendors typically bid on multiple fruit categories and shelf-stable produce simultaneously.

Recent activity concentrates in the South and West, with solicitations originating in Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Connecticut between May and October 2026. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting informal written quotes (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and fruits due October 19, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for institutional facilities with a prior-period value of $1.5 million due July 13, 2026; and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office soliciting weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy on both brand-specific and brand-or-equal bases due August 24, 2026. Oregon offers a combined 10 percent preference for Oregon-sourced and Oregon-headquartered vendors; Georgia and Texas apply Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic content in processed products; Connecticut and other jurisdictions enforce MBE/CBE certifications and insurance requirements. Most contracts run annual cycles with renewal options, firm pricing through the initial term, and FOB Destination delivery terms with inside delivery and advance scheduling required.
