UNSPSC 50375408: Canned or jarred organic bosc pears

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

UNSPSC 50375408 Canned or jarred organic bosc pears is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, primarily through food service solicitations for school districts, corrections facilities, senior services, and state institutions. Recent solicitations show a broad range of canned fruit items rather than bosc pears specifically—applesauce dominates the recent record, with canned fruits appearing as line items within larger food commodity RFQs and IFBs. The code spans general food procurement for institutional cafeterias, nutrition programs, and supply centers. Issuing bodies include county boards of education and board of commissioners, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and municipal nutrition centers. County and state agencies appear most frequently as repeat buyers of institutional food items.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut based on recent postings. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000016975 for approximately 1,904 cases of canned fruit applesauce due June 2, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.827 per case and a five percent Oregon-fabricated and resident-bidder preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0016792v2 for supplemental food and consumables statewide to state hospitals and supported living centers, due March 19, 2026, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years; and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins, due October 19, 2026, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
