UNSPSC 50535439: Dried non GMO rocha pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO rocha 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 50535439 Dried non-GMO rocha pears, a Commodity code, designates a specific dried fruit product, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little substantive alignment with the category name. The most-recent-opportunities block contains six school nutrition, senior meal, and institutional food-service solicitations spanning Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, yet none explicitly reference dried rocha pears or dried pears generally. The opportunities instead cover broad grocery procurement (1,100+ line items including fresh produce, breakfast items, condiments, and prepared foods), fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous and root vegetables, citrus, and specialty items, senior congregate and home-delivered meal services, and packaged meal boxes for summer feeding programs. The category appears to be a narrow commodity code applied to generalized food-service and nutrition purchasing, suggesting either tagging misalignment in state and local procurement systems or irregular demand for this specific dried-fruit line item.

Geographic activity spans five states with school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi) and county or state entities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, State of Georgia) as primary issuing bodies. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posting an IFB for grocery items with a June 30, 2026 response deadline supporting the National School Lunch Program; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a July 13, 2026 due date and $1.5 million prior-period historical value; and Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with a June 26, 2026 response deadline. No recent solicitation activity specifically identifies dried rocha pears as a sought product line, limiting clear pursuit signal under this code.
