UNSPSC 50535425: Dried non GMO kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO kaiserlouise bonne de jersey pears that have been dried for preservation. 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 50535425 Dried non-GMO Kaiserlouise Bonne de Jersey pears (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited by state and local governments under this code. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically for dried pears or specialty dried fruit products; instead, the opportunities span broad food service procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply across multiple product categories including fresh produce, packaged goods, and prepared meals. The mismatch between the code's nominal specification and the actual buying activity suggests this Commodity code sees little focused procurement activity at the state and local level.

The recent solicitations posted between April and June 2026 involve school districts, county nutrition programs, state health agencies, and boards of education in Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi — all seeking bids through IFB, ITB, or competitive sealed-bid processes for general grocery items, fresh produce, prepared meals, and food-service supplies under broader food-procurement frameworks that do not isolate dried-pear sourcing as a line item or contract focus. Bridgeport (Connecticut) Board of Education, Hancock County Schools (Georgia), Hillsborough County (Florida), Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and State of Georgia all posted opportunities covering hundreds of food line items spanning produce, dairy, baked goods, and protein, but none identified dried pears as a discrete commodity category. This code should be watched for activity at the narrower Commodity tier, but pursuit is unlikely to yield current opportunities matching the specific product scope.
