UNSPSC 50385924: Juno pear purees

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

UNSPSC 50385924 Juno pear purees (Commodity) is a narrow food-supply category that state and local solicitations are using to procure canned and processed fruit products — in practice, applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh or frozen produce — for institutional food service. The code shows little activity matching its nominal scope; recent opportunities tag a range of fruit and vegetable procurement under this single commodity number, suggesting either overuse of the code or upstream classification drift. State and local buyers using this code include corrections departments, school districts, state health and human services agencies, and municipal education systems across Oregon, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Missouri, and Illinois. Food service procurement under this category spans institutional meal delivery at scale — corrections facilities, state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, and municipal school district central warehouses are the dominant customer base.

Recent solicitations under this code are dominated by school nutrition programs and institutional food service. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued ITB S-29100-00017453 (due July 31, 2026) for approximately 4,760 cases of canned applesauce at a historical price of $21.84 per case, with a 10 percent combined preference for Oregon-fabricated goods and Oregon-headquartered bidders. Austin Independent School District issued RFP 27RFP004 (due July 16, 2026) for dried fruit bars and apple crisps for food service. Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued multiple IFBs for supplemental food and consumables (HHS0017449 with a prior-period value of $1.5 million for September 2025 through August 2026, due July 13, 2026; HHS0016792V2 with a maximum potential value of $4.5 million over three years, due March 19, 2026) covering fresh, frozen, dry, and refrigerated food products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued IFB #SN002-2027 (due June 26, 2026) for over 200 line items of fresh produce with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content. The code also sees activity from Georgia and Missouri school districts procuring fresh produce, eggs, and grocery items under cooperative and individual purchasing vehicles, with contract values ranging up to approximately $9 million annually for large multi-school food distribution. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas (multiple state agencies, school districts), Georgia (school districts, county boards of education), Oregon (corrections), and Connecticut (municipal school districts), with secondary activity in Missouri school districts and Illinois state procurement.
