UNSPSC 50583412: Non GMO long striped eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO long striped 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 50583412 Non GMO long striped eggplants, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity. State and local procurement activity under this code does not align with the specific product named — the recent solicitations tagged to it span broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and child nutrition support across multiple jurisdictions, encompassing dozens of produce line items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, citrus, potatoes, and eggs) rather than the specialized category of non-GMO long striped eggplants. The code's narrow commodity focus does not map cleanly to the institutional grocery and produce purchasing actually occurring.

School districts and county boards of education dominate the issuing bodies, with recent solicitations from Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), alongside state-level procurement from the State of Georgia and cooperative purchasing through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts. Most opportunities are issued as IFBs or RFPs with response dates clustered between late March and late June 2026. Georgia school districts account for the majority of recent postings, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. Without solicitations specifically naming non-GMO long striped eggplants as a line item or primary procurement focus, the code does not represent an active market segment in current state and local contracting.
