UNSPSC 50525455: Non GMO tientsin pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO tientsin 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 50525455 Non GMO tientsin pears is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations covers the supply and delivery of fresh produce — including bananas, berries, apples, root vegetables, leafy greens, and processed ready-to-eat fruit and vegetable snacks — to school districts, county parks departments, health care coalitions, and other public institutional food service operations. State and local buyers under this code require vendors to meet food safety and HACCP compliance standards, deliver on fixed schedules to multiple locations, maintain specific product quality and ripeness specifications, and often source locally or domestically. School districts dominate the recent activity, with Madison Metropolitan School District in Wisconsin and Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia each posting multiple fresh-produce RFBs; county-level buyers include Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida (for concession food services at regional parks) and Bartow County School System in Georgia (for local fresh fruits and vegetables). Marion Health Care Coalition has also solicited fresh produce vendors for institutional meal service.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Wisconsin, and Florida. The Madison Metropolitan School District posted separate IFBs in July 2026 for petite bananas (70–90 cases weekly, estimated $78,000 annual value, delivery September 2026 through June 2027, due July 29, 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks sourced within 400 miles of Madison and within Wisconsin (5,900 servings weekly for the USDA Fresh Fruit & Vegetable Program, September through November 2026 with extension options, due July 29, 2026). Hancock County Board of Education released an IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items across multiple apple varieties, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty fruits for July 2026 through June 2027 (bids due June 26, 2026). Bartow County School System in Georgia sought local fresh fruits and vegetables sourced within 400 miles, with proposals due June 22, 2026 for a contract running July 2026 through June 2027. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park including concessions (due March 6, 2025, with a 10-point local-vendor preference). The Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal request due August 21, 2026 for the 2026–2027 contract period.
