UNSPSC 50375424: Canned or jarred organic juno pears

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

UNSPSC 50375424 Canned or jarred organic juno pears is a Commodity code that covers canned and jarred fruit products state and local governments procure for institutional food service, particularly school nutrition and correctional facilities. Recent activity shows state and local buyers purchasing canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, and broad food service supplies under or adjacent to this code's scope, though the opportunities are tagged inconsistently with the specific pear commodity. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, school districts (elementary through high school), county boards of education, and municipal nutrition centers. Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Austin Independent School District, Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, and Dallas Independent School District are among the repeat active buyers. The mix spans state-level procurement for institutional facilities, county and municipal school district operations, and special-purpose food service operations.

Geographic activity concentrates in the South and Southwest—Texas (including state-level HHS Commission buys and Dallas ISD), Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham school systems), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Oregon (state corrections)—with secondary activity in Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) and Illinois (state-level CPO). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for canned applesauce (4,760 cases, due July 31, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to serve the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually), Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supply to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-003 for food supply and distribution to 32 schools serving 25,500 students (due February 18, 2026, estimated $9,000,000 annually). Prices in recent bids run $21.84 per case for applesauce, with broader food service contracts ranging from $1.5 million to $9 million annually depending on district size and scope.
