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 names a specific shelf-stable fruit product state and local governments purchase for institutional food service — primarily school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-operated residential care centers. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses canned and jarred pear products alongside broader produce and commodity procurement, though the specific organic mountain bartlett specification appears infrequently in recent opportunities; instead, jurisdictions more commonly solicit general canned fruit (particularly applesauce), fresh produce, and mixed shelf-stable food items where pear products appear as individual line items within multi-category food packages. The issuing bodies span state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC, Illinois veterans homes), county boards of education and school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Austin Independent School District in Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county community services departments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and municipalities (City of Bridgeport). School nutrition programs and state corrections facilities are standout repeat buyers across the recent activity.
