UNSPSC 50583420: Non GMO white eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO white 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 50583420 Non GMO white eggplants is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce, specifically non-GMO white eggplants, supplied to state and local food-service operations. State and local governments procure this product through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, and healthcare coalition networks purchasing fresh produce for cafeterias, concession facilities, and meal programs. The product sits within broader produce procurement that typically includes fresh fruits and vegetables sourced to meet operational, regulatory, and nutritional standards.

Recent activity shows issuing bodies across three states. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to supply diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce to multiple park venues; a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points applied to vendors meeting permanent business address and employee residency criteria in Collier or Lee County. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce procurement on August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026, seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period with seasonal pricing adjustments permitted.
