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, covers fresh produce sourced by state and local government food-service operations. State and local jurisdictions buy non-GMO eggplants primarily through school districts and county parks departments as components of larger food-service contracts for cafeterias, concession operations, and institutional meal programs. Recent opportunities show the code appearing within broader produce or food-supply procurements rather than as standalone eggplant-specific solicitations. County parks departments, school district nutrition programs, and regional health-care consortiums are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code. The work involves meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, and adherence to domestic sourcing and non-GMO preferences where specified in the contract scope.

Geographic activity spans multiple states with recent procurement in Florida, Georgia, and scattered regional health-care operations. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line food bids covering 300+ food items including vegetables, with proposals due June 8, 2026, incorporating USDA whole-grain and nutritional standards across three schools for the 2026–2027 contract period. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) posted an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026 for food-services concession operations at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple venues. The State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation on May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026. Marion Health Care Coalition (Florida) solicited produce proposals on August 7, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery during the 2026–2027 period, with proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in institutional food-service contexts where non-GMO and quality-standard compliance are increasingly standard requirements.
