UNSPSC 50545419: Frozen non GMO french butter pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO french butter 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 50545419 Frozen non GMO french butter pears, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The five posted opportunities tagged to this code—Gwinnett County's shelf-stable food items (IWQ 140229), Bridgeport's school lunch groceries (BNB052266), Hancock County's fresh produce (IFB #SN002-2027), the State of Georgia's food and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009), and Early County's school food and supplies (PE55045NONST2027000000006)—collectively span shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, fresh produce including multiple apple and berry varieties, root vegetables, leafy greens, and specialty items, but none specifically solicit frozen butter pears or pear products as line items. The code's narrow scope (frozen non-GMO butter pears specifically) does not align with the actual procurement activity posted under its classification, which addresses broad categories of food and produce acquisition for school nutrition programs, county senior services, and state food supply contracts.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education), county government (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), and state procurement (State of Georgia). Activity is concentrated in Georgia (Gwinnett County, Hancock County, Early County, State of Georgia) and Connecticut (Bridgeport), with response dates clustered between mid-June and late October 2026. Because no recent opportunity explicitly solicits frozen butter pears as a distinct line item or service, this code presents no current pursuit opportunity. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity definition and the broad food procurement activity it captures suggests either miscoding of the opportunities or minimal market activity under the precise specification this code represents.
