UNSPSC 50545418: Frozen non GMO forelle pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO forelle pears that have been frozen 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 50545418 Frozen non-GMO Forelle pears, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source documents nine recent opportunities across school districts and municipalities soliciting frozen foods, fresh produce, and grocery items for child nutrition programs, but none specifically names frozen pears or any pear variety by cultivar. The code's narrow scope — a single frozen fruit product — sits beneath broader produce and grocery family codes that school nutrition programs actually solicit under. State and local food service purchasing typically occurs at the frozen and fresh produce line-item level within comprehensive grocery or produce RFPs rather than at the individual commodity level.

The recent opportunities show school districts and municipalities across Georgia, Connecticut, and Missouri issuing IFBs and RFPs for produce, frozen foods, and complete grocery supplies spanning dozens to thousands of line items. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Early County Board of Education (Georgia) all solicited fresh produce and frozen goods in the past three months, with response dates ranging from June to April 2026. These jurisdictions typically award on a line-item basis to single or multiple vendors and require firm fixed pricing, HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, and delivery to multiple school sites. No evidence of recent demand specifically for frozen non-GMO Forelle pears appears in the sourced opportunities.
