UNSPSC 50535431: Dried non GMO olivier de serres pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO olivier de serres 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 50535431 Dried non-GMO olivier de serres pears (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local government procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—a highly specialized dried pear variety—does not align with the actual purchasing patterns reflected in the recent opportunities block, which documents school nutrition, senior meal services, and institutional food service procurement across state departments, county school systems, city governments, and special-purpose authorities.

Recent state and local solicitations under food-service–related codes focus on broad grocery supply, fresh produce (including apples, berries, root vegetables, citrus, and leafy greens), dairy, proteins, and prepared meals rather than specialty dried fruits. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) sought main-line food distribution for approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual spend of approximately $9,000,000 (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia) solicited a Master Grocery K-12 contract across 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026); and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) requested bids on over 1,100 grocery line items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, subject to Buy American requirements and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026). Hillsborough County (Florida) procured senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026). These opportunities reflect institutional bulk purchasing of commodity foods and prepared meals, not specialty agricultural products. The code shows no documented state or local procurement activity and does not warrant active pursuit at this time.
