UNSPSC 50375433: Canned or jarred organic packham's triumph pears

The variety of organic pears known as organic packham's triumph pears that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50375433 Canned or jarred organic Packham's triumph pears is a Commodity code that captures state and local government procurement of shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, though recent solicitation activity shows broader commodity purchasing focused on mixed food inventories rather than pears specifically. State and local governments use this code to buy items for senior services, corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and institutional cafeterias. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county social services departments, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, school districts, and municipal boards of education. The work spans food procurement for congregate dining, meal programs for vulnerable populations, and routine institutional food supply. Food items are typically procured through competitive sealed bids (IFB), informal written quotes (IWQ), or request-for-proposals (RFP), with emphasis on firm pricing, compliance with USDA commodity specifications or food-service grade standards, specific delivery windows, and branded-or-equivalent substitution allowances.

Recent activity under this code appears across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) issued an IWQ on October 13, 2026, for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned proteins and vegetables with a response deadline of October 19, 2026. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office solicited weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy with brand-specific and brand-or-equal options, with proposals due August 24, 2026.

Austin Independent School District (Texas) requested proposals for dried fruit bars and apple crisps on July 16, 2026.
