UNSPSC 50545422: Frozen non GMO italian butter pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO italian 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 50545422 Frozen non-GMO Italian butter pears is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local solicitation activity identified in the database. The three detailed school-district and county opportunities posted between May and October 2026 — Hancock County Board of Education fresh produce, Early County Board of Education food and supplies, City of Bridgeport grocery items for the school lunch program, and Gwinnett County shelf-stable food items — span fresh produce, canned goods, dairy, meats, frozen products, and disposables, but none specifically names frozen Italian pears or any branded frozen pear product in their line-item scope. The single state-level solicitation (State of Georgia food, supplies, and other kitchen products, posted May 15, 2026) provides no accessible detail beyond a document reference. The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities are school districts (Hancock County, Early County, Bridgeport Board of Education), county departments (Gwinnett County Department of Community Services), and state agencies (State of Georgia). Georgia and Connecticut dominate the posted opportunities by count. Typical procurement instruments are IFB (Hancock County sealed bid, June 26, 2026 response; Early County Board of Education, June 8, 2026) and informal written quotes (Gwinnett County, October 19, 2026). The procurement activity reflects institutional food sourcing for school nutrition programs and social services under Buy American provisions and USDA compliance requirements, but frozen Italian butter pears as a specific commodity line item do not surface in any of the accessible solicitations.
