UNSPSC 50583405: Non GMO easter egg eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO easter egg eggplants. 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 50583405 Non GMO easter egg eggplants (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The three opportunities posted in the past five months span general food-service concessions at a county park, fresh-produce supply for a health-care coalition, statewide food and kitchen products, and line-item food procurement for a school district's federal lunch and breakfast programs — none of which specifically solicits non-GMO easter egg eggplants or specialty vegetable varieties as a distinct commodity. The disconnect suggests either miscoding of the underlying opportunities or minimal real-world activity under this narrow Commodity designation.

The issuing bodies reflect typical state and local food-procurement patterns: Collier County (parks concessions), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce supply), the State of Georgia (statewide food and supplies), and Early County Board of Education (school-lunch program). The geographic spread includes Florida and Georgia. The Early County Board of Education ITB (due June 8, 2026) is the most detailed recent posting, covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables, fruits, and specialty products for the National School Lunch Program. No recent opportunities explicitly target non-GMO easter egg eggplants as a line item.
