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

UNSPSC 50375445 Canned or jarred organic seckel pears is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food procurement, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not actually feature the nominal product. Instead, solicitations tagged to this code span a much broader range of shelf-stable and fresh food items — canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, fresh produce, protein, dairy, condiments, and consumable supplies — ordered by school districts, corrections facilities, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and county senior services. The actual buying under this code reflects institutional food service operations, primarily for correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, veterans homes, school nutrition programs, and county senior programs. Work solicited includes multi-line-item food supply contracts, often with detailed USDA grade specifications, Buy American or domestic-content requirements, delivery schedules tied to quarterly or annual cycles, and awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or on best-value grounds.

Geographic activity spans multiple states including Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut, with no single jurisdiction dominating the code's recent activity. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for the Department of Community Services, due October 19, 2026 (IWQ 140229); the Oregon Department of Corrections' invitation to bid for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce with delivery to Salem in five full truck loads, bids due July 31, 2026 (ITB S-29100-00017453), with a 5 percent combined Oregon preference; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's invitation for bid on food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million, proposals due July 13, 2026 (IFB HHS0017449); and Hancock County Board of Education's bid for fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year spanning over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty produce, bids due June 26, 2026 (IFB #SN002-2027). The code shows active procurement momentum across both state agencies and local school and county nutrition programs.
