UNSPSC 50375439: Canned or jarred organic rocha pears

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

UNSPSC 50375439 Canned or jarred organic rocha pears is a Commodity code tracking a narrow product line that state and local governments purchase primarily as shelf-stable food components for institutional food service, correctional facilities, schools, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code appearing alongside broader canned-fruit and general food-commodity procurements rather than standing alone; the specific product appears embedded in larger multi-line-item food buys where rocha pears compete alongside canned applesauce, mixed vegetables, and other shelf-stable proteins and starches. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city boards of education, and county departments of community services. The mix skews toward institutional food service for vulnerable populations—schools, correctional institutions, senior centers, and state-supported living centers—rather than commercial retail or foodservice distribution.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut based on recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned fruit applesauce (1,904 cases, due June 2, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products to state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (210 line items including canned fruits, due March 19, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), the City of Bridgeport Board of Education's bid for 115 commodity line items including fruit and vegetable products (due June 26, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB for cafeteria food products across five geographic areas (382 line items, extended due date May 4, 2026). Award determinations typically favor lowest responsive and responsible bidder or best value based on price and vendor performance history, with FOB Destination delivery and firm fixed pricing required for initial contract periods.
