UNSPSC 50545453: Frozen non GMO taylors gold pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO taylors gold 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 50545453 Frozen non-GMO taylors gold pears is a Commodity code that in recent state and local solicitations encompasses generic shelf-stable and frozen food items purchased by school districts and county social services departments to support nutrition programs and community services. The recent opportunities record shows the code tagged to broad food procurement — shelf-stable inventory (peanut butter, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, canned vegetables) for Gwinnett County's senior services, grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education's National School Lunch Program, fresh produce for Hancock County Schools, and mixed food and kitchen supplies for Early County Schools. The issuing bodies are school districts and county departments seeking food-service vendors capable of meeting federal nutrition compliance (Buy American provisions, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards, USDA commodity rules), maintaining HACCP protocols, carrying liability insurance, and delivering on tight weekly schedules with emergency backup capacity. Vendors must accept electronic ordering systems (such as LINQ School Solutions), provide detailed nutritional documentation and product formulations, undergo blind testing by school personnel, and accept firm-fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges for contract periods typically running July through June.

The code shows activity primarily in Georgia and Connecticut based on recent postings. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested bids on fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026), covering over 200 line items of apples, berries, root vegetables, melons, and specialty produce across three school delivery locations.
