UNSPSC 50525434: Non GMO paraiso pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO paraiso 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 50525434 Non GMO paraiso pears is a Commodity code that nominally covers a specific produce item, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show little relevant activity. The single sourced opportunity, a produce-vendor RFQ from Marion Health Care Coalition posted in August 2026, addresses fresh fruits and vegetables broadly rather than paraiso pears specifically. The other recent opportunities in the source — petite bananas from Madison Metropolitan School District, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks from the same district, multi-item produce bids from Hancock County Schools and Bartow County Schools in Georgia, a state-level Georgia food-supplies bid, and Early County Schools' comprehensive food procurement — all represent school nutrition programs and healthcare coalitions buying diverse fresh produce under produce or food-supply codes, but none explicitly reference paraiso pears or align with the narrow commodity scope the code name implies.

The issuing bodies soliciting produce across the source are school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Bartow County, and Early County Schools in Georgia), a healthcare coalition (Marion Health Care Coalition in Florida), and a state purchasing office (State of Georgia). Geographic activity centers on Georgia and Wisconsin, with one healthcare-sector opportunity in Florida. The disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual solicitation activity suggests that UNSPSC 50525434 either receives minimal application in state and local food procurement or is used inconsistently across jurisdictions. Buyers pursuing this code should treat it as a watch rather than an active pursuit vector unless specific paraiso-pear supply chains emerge at targeted school districts or food-service entities in future cycles.
