UNSPSC 50375425: Canned or jarred organic kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375425 Canned or jarred organic kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and specialty canned fruit products procured by state and local government food service operations — primarily school districts, correctional facilities, state hospitals, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show that "canned or jarred" fruit encompasses not only pears but applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and other preserved fruit items specified to USDA commodity standards, often with requirements for specific packaging (juice, water, or light syrup), shelf-life minimums, and domestic content compliance under the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (Buy American). Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, independent school districts, county departments of community services, state veterans' homes, and municipal school nutrition programs. Several jurisdictions—notably Oregon Department of Corrections and the State of Illinois—issue repeated procurements for canned fruit on quarterly and annual cycles to serve institutional food service.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida-area counties) and Pacific Northwest (Oregon), with secondary activity in Texas, Illinois, and Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026 (historical award price $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales), the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office RFP for weekly food orders to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy due August 24, 2026 (brand-specific and brand-or-equal variants), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned proteins and vegetables) due October 19, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables to state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years. Most solicitations require FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing per unit, USDA compliance, domestic content certification, general liability insurance, and compliance with state prompt payment and prevailing wage statutes where applicable.
