UNSPSC 50375430: Canned or jarred organic mountain bartlett pears

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

UNSPSC 50375430 Canned or jarred organic mountain bartlett pears is a Commodity code that encompasses preserved fruit products for institutional food service. State and local government purchasing under this code targets canned and jarred fruit products—often generic commodities such as applesauce, mixed canned fruits, and preserved pears—procured for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, state hospitals, and state supported living centers. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (independent and county-level), state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state departments of corrections and institutional food service operations as consistent buyers of large-volume canned fruit inventory.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Connecticut, and Missouri, with the most recent opportunities posted in those states across spring and summer 2026. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S2910000017453 for canned fruit applesauce due July 31, 2026, seeking approximately 4,760 cases (40,000 pounds per truckload) delivered to its Central Distribution Center in Salem; the historical award to Robbins Sales was $21.84 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued supplemental food and consumable procurements (IFB HHS0016792) with bid deadlines in February and March 2026 encompassing fresh, frozen, and canned fruit products across 23 qualified ordering entities serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide, with a maximum potential contract value of $4.5 million over three years. School districts including Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004 for dried fruit bars and apple crisps, due July 16, 2026) and Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12, due April 27, 2026) solicited food products including preserved fruits as part of larger food service contracts. Hancock County Board of Education (IFB SN002-2027) and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34) issued fresh and processed fruit procurements with Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic content in processed items, responses due June 26 and April 23, 2026 respectively. The code shows steady institutional demand but little specialized activity targeting organic mountain bartlett pears specifically; recent opportunities reflect broader canned and preserved fruit categories.
