UNSPSC 50375454: Canned or jarred organic taylors red pears

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

UNSPSC 50375454 Canned or jarred organic taylors red pears is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products—including applesauce, mixed fruits, and other preserved fruit items—procured by state and local food service operations, correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and senior services departments. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating this code as part of a broader canned-fruit and preserved-produce category, bundled with proteins, vegetables, grains, and consumables in multi-item food procurement events rather than as single-SKU specialty items. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of corrections and health and human services, county boards of education and commissioners' offices, independent school districts, and special-purpose state facilities; repeat activity centers on multi-item food and consumables RFQs, IFBs, and RFPs from Texas HHSC, Oregon ODOC, state of Illinois, and Georgia, as well as from county boards of education and school nutrition departments across the South and Mid-Atlantic.

Geographic activity clusters in the South and West—Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County Board of Education, State of Georgia), Texas (Austin ISD, HHSC El Paso, TDCJ), Oregon (ODOC), and Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy)—with sporadic activity in Connecticut. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ requesting approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables and proteins due October 19, 2026; Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (multiple deliveries through 2026) with a historical award price of $21.84 per case to Robbins Sales; Austin Independent School District's RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps due July 16, 2026; and Texas HHSC's IFB for supplemental food and consumables (210 line items, fresh through frozen products) supporting state hospitals and state supported living centers statewide with a three-year maximum potential value of $4,500,000 and contract award anticipated from March 2026 through August 2028. Buy American provisions, FOB destination delivery, firm fixed pricing, and compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards appear in most solicitations; ODOC and Oregon apply state-vendor geographic preferences (5 percent each for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders).
