UNSPSC 50525430: Non GMO mountain bartlett pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO mountain bartlett 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 50525430 Non GMO mountain bartlett pears (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The most recent opportunities solicited under 50525430 reflect school district food service contracts for fresh produce broadly—bananas, apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, and prepared produce items—rather than the specific commodity of non-GMO mountain bartlett pears. The code shows activity concentrated in school district nutrition programs across multiple states, particularly Georgia and Texas, where districts solicit fresh produce through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices for annual or multi-year contracts serving elementary through high school populations alongside USDA-funded fresh fruit and vegetable programs.

School districts dominate the issuing bodies, with repeat solicitors including Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, Douglas County School System (coordinating 30 districts through a buying cooperative), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia). State-level procurement also appears, with the State of Georgia posting a broad food and kitchen products RFP in May 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Hancock, Bulloch, Liberty, Glynn, Douglas, and Muscogee counties), with secondary activity in Wisconsin (Madison), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), and miscellaneous districts elsewhere. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education IFB for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items with delivery to three schools and a July 1, 2026 contract start (due June 26, 2026); Madison Metropolitan School District RFB 4163 for fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison with weekly delivery to schools (due July 29, 2026, estimated $4.4 million to $1.1 million annual value across multiple districts in the Douglas County cooperative procurement); and Bulloch County School District IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles under a Farm to School program serving 11,200 students across fourteen schools (due May 4, 2026). No recent opportunities specifically reference mountain bartlett pears or non-GMO specifications as a primary commodity focus.
