UNSPSC 50375456: Canned or jarred organic tosca pears

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

UNSPSC 50375456 Canned or jarred organic tosca pears (Commodity) covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products that state and local governments purchase for food service operations, senior services, correctional facilities, schools, and state-supported residential care. Recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are buying canned applesauce, dried fruit products, and broader commodity food bundles—reflecting the code's focus on preserved fruit for institutional feeding programs rather than specialty organic pears specifically. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services agencies, city school districts, county senior services departments, and state veterans facilities. The mix spans rural and urban jurisdictions across multiple states, with repeat activity from Texas agencies (HHSC, TDCJ), Georgia (state and county), Oregon DOC, Illinois (Veterans Home at Quincy), and Connecticut (Bridgeport schools).

Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with significant secondary presence in the Pacific Northwest and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce (S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), which applied 10% total preference for Oregon goods and bidders and awarded historically at $21.84 per case; Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners IWQ for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned vegetables and proteins (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide to serve state hospitals and supported living centers (HHS0016792V2, with a potential value of $4.5 million over three years); and Austin Independent School District RFP for dried fruit bars and apple crisps (27RFP004, due July 16, 2026). Most procurements emphasize firm fixed pricing inclusive of delivery, compliance with USDA commodity and FDA standards, and meeting Buy American or state preference requirements where applicable.
