UNSPSC 50583905: Non GMO sugar snap peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO sugar snap 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 50583905 Non GMO sugar snap peas is a Commodity code that describes fresh produce items state and local governments actually buy to support child nutrition, school food service, and institutional kitchen operations — though recent opportunities tag this code broadly to encompass all fresh produce procurement rather than the specific snap pea line item alone. School districts dominate solicitation activity under this code, with smaller volumes from county school systems and state institutional buyers. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) issuing RFP 26039RFPDST for fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program with a March 11, 2026 due date; Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) posting RFP 2026048 for USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant fresh produce with delivery across all campuses due May 7, 2026; Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting line-by-line food bids including vegetables, fruits, and produce items due June 8, 2026; and the State of Georgia posting Invitation for Bid IFB #4 2027-2026 for fresh produce supply with May 27, 2026 response deadline.

Recent procurement activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas school districts, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Georgia solicitations include Bulloch County School District's IFP for 24 fresh produce items within 200 miles (due May 4, 2026), Liberty County Board of Education's IFB for produce and eggs (due April 29, 2026), Muscogee County School District's ITB 26-017 for approximately 60 produce line items (due April 27, 2026), Glynn County Board of Education's IFB 27-02 for fresh produce across 16 schools (due April 14, 2026), and Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for 72 fresh produce items (due April 23, 2026). Texas opportunities span Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), McAllen Independent School District for fresh produce due March 6, 2026, and Austin Independent School District's RFP 26RFP034 for fresh produce and beverages due March 11, 2026. Most school nutrition contracts run July 1 through June 30, feature delivery requirements Monday through Friday during early morning and midday windows, mandate HACCP and food safety compliance, require Buy American provisions, and allow contract renewal for multiple one-year terms. Pricing is predominantly firm for the contract period with provisions for mid-contract adjustment only when documented market increases exceed specified thresholds (typically 3–5 percent).
