UNSPSC 50525439: Non GMO rocha pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO rocha 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 50525439 Non GMO rocha pears is a Commodity code with no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to the code's nominal scope. The single representative opportunity tagged under this code—Madison Metropolitan School District's RFB 4162 for petite bananas (due July 29, 2026)—involves bananas, not rocha pears or pear products. The mismatch between the code designation and the work actually being solicited signals either miscoding at the issuing body or that this code does not reflect active state and local demand for the specified product type in the current market.

The recent opportunities block contains numerous school district produce and food service solicitations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Wisconsin—many of which involve fresh fruit procurement under codes that may more accurately span broad commodity purchasing for school nutrition programs. While school districts across multiple states are actively procuring fresh produce through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB vehicles for child nutrition programs, the specific focus on non-GMO rocha pears does not surface in any of the posted solicitations. If pursuing this code, verify at the point of inquiry whether UNSPSC 50525439 remains in active use by target jurisdictions or whether related produce codes better align with current sourcing patterns.
