UNSPSC 50545433: Frozen non GMO packham's triumph pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO packham's triumph 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 50545433 Frozen non-GMO Packham's Triumph pears is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The sourced opportunities show school districts and municipalities across multiple states (Connecticut, Georgia, and Missouri) soliciting comprehensive grocery and food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items—fresh produce, frozen products, meats, dairy, grains, condiments, and non-food supplies—under school nutrition programs and child nutrition services. None of these solicitations identify frozen Packham's Triumph pears, or any specific frozen pear variety, as a distinct procurement focus. The code's nominal scope is too narrow to meaningfully describe what state and local governments are actually buying under these opportunities.

The recent activity reflects school districts dominating the issuing-body mix: the Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System, along with the State of Georgia. Opportunities span Georgia (Hancock County, Early County, Decatur, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and Missouri (Rockwood). Representative solicitations include Bridgeport's BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items (due June 30, 2026, IFB), Hancock County's fresh produce IFB with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Early County's line-by-line food and non-food bid covering 300+ items (due June 8, 2026). The code shows no targeted market activity for frozen specialty pears; prospective vendors should characterize frozen fruit commodities within broader school nutrition procurement rather than rely on this hyperspecific UNSPSC code to identify relevant opportunities.
