UNSPSC 50375458: Canned or jarred organic williams bon chretien pears

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

UNSPSC 50375458 Canned or jarred organic williams bon chretien pears is a Commodity code covering branded or equivalent canned fruit products procured by state and local food service operations. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying this code narrowly — canned applesauce and generic shelf-stable fruit products dominate the recent record, with only tangential overlap to the specific pear variety named in the code. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under or near this code span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Illinois), county school systems (Hancock County Board of Education, Austin Independent School District), city education departments (Bridgeport Board of Education), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), and state supported living facilities. The work being bought is shelf-stable canned fruit for institutional food service — cafeteria and nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and senior services centers — typically as part of broader food commodity procurement bundles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Gwinnett County), Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy), Oregon (ODOC facilities in Salem), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ statewide), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and scattered school districts across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S-29100-00017453 for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, with historical pricing at $21.84 per case and a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered vendors; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products (including fruit items) for state supported living centers with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a prior-year value of $1.5 million; and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote PE77023NONST2027000000782 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (including canned vegetables and proteins but no specific fruit line noted) due October 19, 2026. The code shows activity but little recent demand specifically for canned organic pears — most fruit procurement under or adjacent to this code targets applesauce, fresh produce, and generic canned fruit in bulk institutional quantities with delivery to centralized distribution centers or facility receiving points.
