UNSPSC 50583904: Non GMO snow peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO snow 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 50583904 Non GMO snow peas (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within institutional food service procurement, but the code shows little direct recent activity; instead, state and local buyers tag broad fresh-produce and child-nutrition solicitations with this code when purchasing mixed vegetable line items that may or may not include snow peas specifically. School districts, county school systems, and state agencies are the dominant issuing bodies. The work being solicited is primarily cafeteria and child-nutrition fresh-produce supply under annual contracts, with delivery to multiple school sites on fixed weekly or twice-weekly schedules. Representative solicitations include the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) RFP for food items supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs with delivery June 8, 2026; Bulloch County School District (Georgia) IFP for 24 locally-grown produce items including various vegetables for the 2026–2027 fiscal year with proposals due May 4, 2026; and Northside Independent School District (Texas) RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce to 127 school campuses across the San Antonio area with proposals due May 7, 2026 via the Bonfire Portal. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida) also issued RFP 26039RFPDST on April 13, 2026, for specialty fruits and vegetables supporting the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program across 18 elementary schools, with proposals due March 11, 2026, and estimated annual budget of $600,000.

Geographic concentration is heavy in Georgia and Texas, with recent activity also in Florida and Missouri. Georgia school districts—including Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham County, Douglas County (serving 30 districts), Bulloch County, and Muscogee County—dominate the opportunity stream, with most procurements occurring in March and April 2026 for July 1, 2026, contract start dates. Texas districts (Northside Independent School District in Bexar County and Austin Independent School District across Travis County) and Missouri's Rockwood R-VI School District represent secondary geographic activity. Contracts consistently require Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, general liability insurance of $1 million to $2 million, weekly or fixed-day delivery between 6:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and firm pricing for 12 months with cost-adjustment provisions keyed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service reports or Consumer Price Index data. No set-asides for disadvantaged vendors are identified across these solicitations; awards are made on lowest responsive and responsible bid or line-item basis with multiple-vendor splits common. Contract terms typically run July 1 through June 30 with two to four one-year renewal options, and most districts serve 6,000 to 20,000 students daily across elementary through high school campuses.
