UNSPSC 50583413: Non GMO moneymaker eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO moneymaker 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 50583413 Non GMO moneymaker eggplants is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the state and local procurement activity posted under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not center on eggplants or any single produce item — they span broad food service and produce provisioning across multiple venue types and customer bases. Collier County is soliciting food services (concessions at a regional park with water park and athletic facilities), Marion Health Care Coalition is requesting general produce vendors, the State of Georgia is bidding food and kitchen products broadly, and Early County Board of Education is seeking line-item bids for over 300 food products and 60 non-food items to support school meal programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work solicited suggests this code carries little signal for vendors pursuing eggplant-specific procurement or that the tagging reflects administrative categorization rather than product demand.

Recent activity appears across three states — Georgia (state-level food procurement), Florida (Collier County parks concessions), and implied multi-state activity through Marion Health Care Coalition's produce solicitation — with no dominant geographic concentration. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB due June 8, 2026, requesting line-by-line bids for school meal program provisioning; Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN due March 6, 2025 (note: due date predates posting date, suggesting a data inconsistency in the source), for food services at North Collier Regional Park with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points; Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026; and the State of Georgia issued a food and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Without clearer recent opportunities tied specifically to eggplant procurement or narrower produce categories, vendors should verify code assignment with issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources.
