UNSPSC 50375436: Canned or jarred organic perry pears

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

UNSPSC 50375436 Canned or jarred organic perry pears is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity shown in recent opportunities. The code name specifies a narrow, specialized product—organic perry pears in preserved form—yet none of the recent solicitations posted under or near this code seek perry pears, organic or otherwise. The opportunities instead solicit broad shelf-stable and fresh food categories for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, veterans' homes, and health and human services institutions. Representative recent work includes canned applesauce for the Oregon Department of Corrections (ITB S-29100-00017453, bids due July 31, 2026, approximately 4,760 cases), fresh produce for Hancock County Board of Education (IFB #SN002-2027, bids due June 26, 2026, over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits), dried fruit bars and apple crisps for Austin Independent School District (RFP 27RFP004, proposals due July 16, 2026), and miscellaneous canned food items for Gwinnett County Department of Community Services (IWQ 140229, informal written quotes due October 19, 2026, 1,062 cases across 35 line items). Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and services departments, city nutrition programs, school districts, and veterans' facilities.

Geographic spread spans Georgia, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Connecticut, and other states. The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce procurements (May and July 2026), and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office has solicited recurring weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (June and August 2026). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has issued large-scale food and consumable procurements serving state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (historical contract value $1.5 million to $4.5 million over multiple years). This code shows little purchasing activity specifically aligned to canned or jarred organic perry pears; the mismatch suggests either misclassification of the code against actual food commodity buys or sparse procurement demand for this particular product category within state and local government.
