UNSPSC 50535445: Dried non GMO seckel pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO seckel 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 50535445 Dried non-GMO Seckel pears, a Commodity code, names a specific produce item but does not match the scope of work actually being solicited under recent state and local procurement activity in the available source material. The code is tagged on opportunities spanning comprehensive school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and bulk food supply contracts — none of which specifically reference dried Seckel pears as a line item or procurement focus. Recent state and local solicitations under or near this code tier encompass fresh produce, packaged groceries, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, and prepared meals across school districts, county boards of education, health and human services agencies, and municipal governments, but the specific commodity of dried non-GMO Seckel pears does not appear in any of the representative opportunities posted between January and June 2026.

State and local procurement activity around food supply codes shows sustained demand from school nutrition programs and senior services across Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia, with issuing bodies including school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), county boards of education, county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) spanning 76 grocery items across 52 school sites; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) for approximately $9 million annually supplying 32,000 meals daily; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' Senior Meals Preparation and Delivery Services ITB (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. The code shows no recent activity specifically targeting dried Seckel pears or similar specialty dried-produce commodities as standalone procurement items.
