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).

UNSPSC 50535415 Dried non-GMO Dr Jules Guyot pears, a Commodity code, represents a specific agricultural product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school district nutrition programs and specialized facility food-service contracts. Recent solicitations show that while this code nominally describes a single dried-pear variety, state and local buying activity under it clusters within broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement — where districts, counties, and state health agencies source produce and food items to meet National School Lunch Program requirements, Buy American provisions, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, supplemented by state health and human services agencies operating institutional food services such as state-supported living centers and senior meal programs.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (BNB052266) issued an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery and produce items for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with 51 percent domestic agricultural content required and delivery to central warehouse and school sites; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0017449) solicited food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a prior-period value of $1.5 million and due date of July 13, 2026; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia (PE67080NONST2027000000013) requested fresh produce for the 2026–27 school year with over 200 line items and a June 26, 2026 due date; Hillsborough County in Florida (ITB2600289) issued a three-year senior meal preparation and delivery services contract valued at $17,832,659.90 with a June 25, 2026 due date; and the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. The Commodity code shows limited standalone recent activity — most procurement appears bundled within larger grocery or fresh-produce line-item solicitations rather than isolated dried-pear awards.
