UNSPSC 50375411: Canned or jarred organic concorde pears

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

UNSPSC 50375411 Canned or jarred organic concorde pears, a Commodity code, shows limited direct recent activity but reflects broader state and local demand for shelf-stable fruit products—particularly canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—that supply school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, and state health and human services institutions. The recent opportunities under or near this code reveal that state and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products primarily for high-volume institutional food service, where shelf life, compliance with USDA commodity specifications, and firm fixed pricing are critical. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with independent and consolidated school systems in Georgia (Hancock County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Texas (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD) representing the strongest cluster; state departments and agencies also participate, including the Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office. Work solicited ranges from specialty items (dried fruit bars, apple crisps) to mainstream canned goods and fresh produce, all delivered to central warehouses or individual school sites on firm fixed-price, FOB-destination terms with no fuel surcharges.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida counties) and Southwest (Texas), with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia, Missouri). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S-29100-00017453 for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with a historical price of $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts with an estimated annual value of approximately $5.5 million and proposals due March 4, 2026; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP JC250079 for various food products including specialty items for the 2026-2027 school year, due April 2, 2026. School nutrition contracts typically require Buy American compliance (minimum 51 percent domestic content for processed products), HACCP plans, E-Verify authorization, general liability insurance of $1 to $2 million, and firm pricing for the full contract term with limited midterm adjustments tied to documented manufacturer price increases of 5 percent or greater.
