UNSPSC 50583900: Non GMO green peas

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO green peas. 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 50583900 Non GMO green peas is a Class code with no recent state or local procurement activity specifically matching its scope. The source contains fifteen school district and state education agency solicitations for fresh produce, fresh fruit and vegetable programs, and related food service items posted between February 2026 and May 2026, but none explicitly names green peas—GMO or non-GMO—as a line item or standalone procurement category. The opportunities span produce procurement across child nutrition programs, farm-to-school initiatives, and general food service supply, with requests covering broad produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and eggs) on both individual and cooperative purchasing vehicles.

The issuing bodies include state education agencies (Georgia Department of Education), county school districts (Bulloch County, Douglas County, Early County, Glynn County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, Hillsborough County in Florida, and Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and large urban school systems (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen ISD in Texas, and Austin ISD in Texas). Recent representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 school districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (deadline March 4, 2026, IFB format); Hillsborough County Public Schools RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh fruit and vegetable program delivery to 18 elementary schools with estimated annual budget of $600,000 funded by USDA grant (deadline March 11, 2026); and Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce across multiple campuses in San Antonio (deadline May 7, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with additional solicitations in Missouri. The code shows limited direct relevance to current state and local procurement unless green peas appear as a line item within broader produce specifications not captured by the commodity-level UNSPSC designation.
