UNSPSC 50375409: Canned or jarred organic clapp favorite pears

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

UNSPSC 50375409 Canned or jarred organic clapp favorite pears is a Commodity code that represents shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior services, and state-supported living centers. State and local buyers under this code procure canned fruit—applesauce, pears, and mixed fruit in various styles (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, chunky)—as components of broader food service contracts that span multiple product categories. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, school districts, and senior services departments. These entities typically buy canned fruit as part of larger commodity food procurements rather than as standalone line items, bundling applesauce, canned vegetables, proteins, and dry goods in single solicitations.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with posted opportunities from Georgia (Gwinnett County), Oregon (Department of Corrections, two separate ITBs for applesauce in May and July 2026), Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy, multiple quarterly food orders), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission, Comptroller's office for TDCJ), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport), and South Carolina (Hancock County Schools). The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two separate Invitations to Bid for canned applesauce—ITB S-29100-00017453 with bids due July 31, 2026, for approximately 4,760 cases, and ITB S-29100-00016975 with bids due June 2, 2026, for approximately 1,904 cases, both referencing a historical price of approximately $21.82–$21.83 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission released IFB HHS0016792v2 in May 2026 for supplemental food and consumables statewide, covering 210 line items with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and a March 19, 2026 response deadline. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued IWQ 140229 in October 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables, with quotes due October 19, 2026. These procurements are typically IFBs or ITBs with firm, fixed unit pricing evaluated on a per-ounce or per-case basis, FOB Destination delivery, and awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
