UNSPSC 50525413: Non GMO crimson red pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO crimson red pears. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50525413 Non GMO crimson red pears, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy individual fresh fruit items—in this case, specialty pear varieties—as line items within broader school nutrition and institutional food service programs. The recent opportunities posted under this code tag are predominantly for bananas, mixed fresh produce, and comprehensive food service procurement rather than for the specific product named in the code.

The issuing bodies soliciting fresh produce across the broader produce-procurement landscape are predominantly school districts and school systems (Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County School System, Early County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System via GEC Buying Cooperative), with one state-level procurement (State of Georgia). Geographic activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with additional recent solicitations in Wisconsin and Florida. Representative opportunities include Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas due July 29, 2026 (estimated annual value $78,000), Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative for 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million in Area One and $1.1 million in Area Two, and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce (SY27) due June 26, 2026, spanning over 200 line items across multiple produce categories. School nutrition procurement typically emphasizes HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, fixed pricing for contract terms, weekly or specified delivery schedules, and evaluation on lowest responsive and responsible bidder or cost-weighted criteria. The code itself shows little current standalone activity; pears appear as subordinate line items in comprehensive fresh-produce solicitations rather than as standalone procurement vehicles.
