UNSPSC 50525451: Non GMO sun gold pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO sun gold 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 50525451 Non GMO sun gold pears is a Commodity code that names a specific fresh-fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities show little procurement activity directly targeting this variety. The code appears nominally aligned with school district and county food-service purchasing, which collectively procure produce across hundreds of line items for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and park concessions. When pear varieties do appear in recent solicitations, they are bundled into larger fresh-produce frameworks rather than isolated by cultivar or non-GMO specification. School districts, county boards of education, and regional food-service operations are the primary issuing bodies under this code tier, though activity is sparse and largely undifferentiated from broader produce categories.

Recent opportunities show produce procurement concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin school systems. Madison Metropolitan School District issued two separate RFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4162 and RFB 4163, bids due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited over 200 line items of fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026), and Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables within 400 miles (RFP 10-2026-019, due June 22, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food-service concessions including produce at North Collier Regional Park (ITN 258360, due March 6, 2025). The code shows no distinctive pear-specific procurement signals; buyers are acquiring produce on commodity specifications and volume terms without isolating non-GMO status as a differentiator in posted documents.
