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 that in recent state and local procurement activity spans a broad range of canned and jarred fruit products—not limited to the specific pear variety named in the code. State and local governments are sourcing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, eggs, and mixed food commodities under related codes and procurement vehicles, reflecting the practical scope of fruit and produce purchasing at the school nutrition, corrections, and health and human services level. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Austin ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas ISD), state departments of corrections (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District, Douglas County School System), and special-purpose food service entities. School districts dominate the activity, purchasing food products for child nutrition programs with significant recurring annual contracts; state correctional and health facilities procure institutional food supplies with multi-year terms.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in the Midwest (Missouri, Illinois) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Connecticut). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned fruit applesauce (4,760 cases) due July 31, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools posting IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 to 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution centers, sealed bids due April 27, 2026; Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with an estimated annual value of $5.5 million, proposals due March 4, 2026; and Dallas Independent School District posting RFP JC250079 for various food products for child nutrition services, due April 2, 2026. School district solicitations typically run annual cycles aligned to fiscal or academic years (July-June) with firm fixed pricing, Buy American compliance, and multi-year renewal options. Correctional and health facility procurements follow similar annual or multi-year terms with USDA commodity specification alignment and FOB destination delivery requirements.
