The variety of pears known as beth pears which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385906 Beth pear purees is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable fruit purees and processed fruit products for institutional food service. State and local governments use this code to procure canned, frozen, and prepared fruit items—including applesauce, fruit bars, and similar shelf-stable preparations—for schools, corrections facilities, senior centers, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations show purchasing under this code spans a mix of issuing bodies: state departments (Illinois, Oregon, Texas), county boards of education and county social services (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Hancock County, Georgia), independent school districts (Austin ISD, Texas; Bridgeport Board of Education, Connecticut), and special-purpose state facilities (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission). State procurement offices dominate the activity, with repeat buyers including the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy (multiple quarterly awards for weekly food orders), the Oregon Department of Corrections (canned applesauce contracts), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (supplemental food for state hospitals and supported living centers).

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. Georgia and Texas show consistent procurement volume across multiple issuing bodies—Gwinnett County, Hancock County, and the State of Georgia posting food items bids in May and June 2026; Texas HHSC and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice issuing large-scale cafeteria and institutional food bids in May and June. Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple applesauce bids (ITB S-29100-00017453 and ITB S-29100-00016975, both for canned applesauce with response dates in June and July 2026).
