UNSPSC 50375414: Canned or jarred organic d'anjou pears

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

UNSPSC 50375414 Canned or jarred organic d'anjou pears is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable preserved fruit products purchased by state and local agencies for food service operations in correctional facilities, schools, senior services programs, and state-supported living centers. State and local governments buy canned and jarred fruit under this code as part of broader food-service procurement for institutional kitchens; d'anjou pears represent one line item within larger multi-category food commodity buys that typically include proteins, vegetables, dairy, and other shelf-stable items. The issuing bodies are state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, city boards of education, and school districts, with activity spread across Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, and Connecticut. State agencies and school nutrition programs dominate recent solicitations, using this code as part of larger institutional food-service contracts rather than as standalone pear purchases.

Recent opportunities show the code embedded in institutional food procurement. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000016975 (due June 2, 2026) and ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 1,904 cases and 4,760 cases respectively of canned applesauce—similar preserved fruit—with historical pricing near $21.84 per case and Oregon-goods and resident-bidder preferences of 5 percent each. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016792v2 (due March 19, 2026) for 210 line items of supplemental food and consumables across state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years and firm, fixed pricing required. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins for the Department of Community Services. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education solicited commodities via IFB BNB053266 (due June 26, 2026) covering 115 line items with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic ingredients for processed products. These solicitations typically require FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, USDA compliance, commercial liability insurance of $1 million or higher, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value; many include brand-or-equal specifications permitting product substitution and apply state preferences for local or minority-owned vendors where applicable.
