UNSPSC 50555415: Canned or jarred non GMO dr jules guyot pears

The variety of non GMO pears known as non GMO dr jules guyot pears that have been canned or jarred 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 50555415 Canned or jarred non-GMO Dr Jules Guyot pears, a Commodity code, rarely appears in recent state and local solicitations as a standalone item specification; the code shows minimal targeted procurement activity for this specific product line. When pears or other canned fruit do appear in state and local food service procurements, they are typically bundled into broader food and supply categories rather than solicited as a line item in their own right. The issuing bodies that do procure shelf-stable canned and jarred food products—county nutrition departments, state corrections facilities, state-operated veterans homes, school districts, and municipal/state health and human services agencies—source these items as part of institutional food service operations. The work involves commodity procurement for on-campus food service, with vendors required to meet USDA grade standards, FDA compliance, proper labeling, secure packaging, and timely delivery to central distribution centers or facility kitchens.

Recent activity under related canned-fruit and broader food-commodity codes shows solicitation across Georgia, Illinois, Oregon, Texas, and Connecticut. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued two ITBs for canned applesauce in May and July 2026 (S2910000016975, due June 2, 2026, and S2910000017453, due July 31, 2026), each specifying approximately 1,900–4,760 cases with USDA 2011 commodity compliance and a historical award price near $21.83 per case. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumables statewide in May 2026 under HHS0016792V2, encompassing 210 line items across fresh, frozen, and canned products with a three-year contract value ceiling of $4.5 million; Gwinnett County, Georgia requested informal written quotes for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food products in October 2026 (PE77023NONST2027000000782, due October 19, 2026), including canned proteins and vegetables alongside peanut butter, jelly, and pasta. The State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office posted multiple weekly food-service solicitations for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy in June and August 2026, using both brand-specific and brand-or-equal specifications. School districts and municipal nutrition programs (Austin ISD, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, City of Bridgeport Board of Education) procured fresh and processed food products under RFP and IFB methods in June and July 2026. No solicitation explicitly named Dr Jules Guyot pears or equivalent non-GMO pear varietals; pear procurement under this code appears dormant in the visible recent-opportunity window.
