UNSPSC 50375420: Canned or jarred organic glou morceau pears

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

UNSPSC 50375420 Canned or jarred organic glou morceau pears is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable preserved fruit products procured by state and local food service operations, including school nutrition programs, corrections departments, veterans' homes, and county human services agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying this code as part of broader food commodity acquisitions rather than as standalone line items—pears appear alongside apples, applesauce, dried fruit, fresh produce, proteins, and pantry staples in multi-line-item food service RFPs, IFBs, and informal quotes. The issuing bodies include school districts (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education, City of Bridgeport), state corrections and health departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas TDCJ, Texas HHSC), county boards and services (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). School nutrition procurement and state institutional food service represent the largest visible buyers in the recent record.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut, with scattered representation in other states. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins) due October 19, 2026, under IWQ 140229; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office's weekly food order solicitations for Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variations, August 2026); Oregon Department of Corrections canned applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453 and prior ITB S-29100-00016975, June and May 2026) at historical pricing near $21.83–$21.83 per case; and Texas HHSC's comprehensive food and consumable products IFB for state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026, with prior-period value of $1.5 million). Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic content for processed products) and Oregon goods preferences appear frequently. No recent opportunities explicitly isolate canned pears as a standalone procurement, suggesting the code typically represents one line item within larger institutional food service contracts.
