UNSPSC 50525415: Non GMO dr jules guyot pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO dr jules guyot 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 50525415 Non GMO dr jules guyot pears is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The eight recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code overwhelmingly solicit fresh produce and food service items for school nutrition programs, but none specifically name dr jules guyot pears or non-GMO pear varieties as line items. The solicitations instead span bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, and comprehensive produce assortments for elementary through high school meal service and USDA-funded snack programs; the code appears to be a catch-all taxonomy placeholder rather than a targeted procurement vehicle for specialty pear sourcing.

The issuing bodies are school districts and school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, and Florida — Madison Metropolitan School District, Hancock County Board of Education, Bartow County Schools, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System serving 30 districts via cooperative, McAllen Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools, and Austin Independent School District — along with the State of Georgia for institutional food supplies. Recent RFPs and RFBs posted in February through July 2026 (responses due March through July 2026) target annual fresh produce contracts with weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites, emphasizing HACCP compliance, Buy American domestic-sourcing requirements, price indexing to USDA market reports, and preferred local or regional sourcing where feasible. No recent opportunity identifies pears, dr jules guyot or otherwise, as a solicited item; bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, and mixed vegetables dominate the specifications. The code's mismatch with actual procurement intent suggests either legacy taxonomy assignment or misclassification at the posting stage.
