UNSPSC 50525453: Non GMO taylors gold pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO taylors 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 50525453 Non GMO Taylors Gold Pears is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty pear varieties—does not align with the state and local opportunities posted under it, which instead solicit fresh produce broadly, petite bananas, fresh fruit and vegetable snacks, and mixed produce for school nutrition programs. The opportunities in the dataset reflect institutional food service purchasing for K–12 schools, not procurement of a specific pear variety or branded product line.

School districts across Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Wisconsin have posted the most recent activity, soliciting fresh produce through RFP, RFQ, IFB, and ITB notices with response dates between February and July 2026. Representative solicitations include Madison Metropolitan School District's bid for petite bananas (RFB 4162, due July 29, 2026; $78,000 estimated annual value) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (RFB 4163, due July 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's invitation for bid on fresh produce (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026); Glynn County Board of Education's sealed-bid procurement for fresh produce across 16 school locations (IFB 27-02, due April 14, 2026); and Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across Georgia (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026; approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend). Most school nutrition procurements require compliance with Buy American provisions, HACCP plans, traceability documentation, and insurance minimums of $500,000 to $2,000,000 in general liability coverage. If pursuing under this code, clarify with procurement offices whether the opportunity genuinely targets branded Taylors Gold pears or falls under broader fresh produce categories where the code assignment does not match the actual scope.
