UNSPSC 50375435: Canned or jarred organic passe crasanne pears

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

UNSPSC 50375435 Canned or jarred organic passe crasanne pears is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products — primarily applesauce, canned fruit, and dried fruit bars — purchased by state and local governments for food service operations in correctional facilities, state hospitals, school nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional dining. State agencies, county boards of education, school districts, state health and human services departments, and correctional systems are the primary buyers. Recent solicitations show institutional food service operators using this code to procure both individual commodity items and broader baskets of shelf-stable produce and proteins, with pricing typically quoted on a per-case or per-unit basis and delivery to central distribution centers or facility warehouses. The Oregon Department of Corrections has solicited canned applesauce multiple times; the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has issued recurring weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has procured supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide.

Activity is concentrated in the West (Oregon), South (Texas, Georgia), and Midwest (Illinois), with notable recent issuance in the Southeast.
