UNSPSC 50585302: Non GMO pinkeye peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO pinkeye 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 50585302 Non GMO pinkeye peas is a Commodity code that frames fresh produce procurement for state and local food service operations, though recent opportunities show the code captures only a fraction of the broader produce and food-supply activity state and local buyers actually pursue. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county parks and recreation departments, school districts, state education and nutrition agencies, and healthcare coalitions. The scope of work centers on fresh produce provision and delivery meeting operational food-service needs, though recent postings show substantial overlap with broader food-supply contracts that bundle produce with proteins, dairy, grains, paper supplies, and kitchen equipment rather than isolating pinkeye peas or single-commodity procurement.

Geographic activity includes Georgia, Florida, and multistate school-district procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requesting line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with renewal options; Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issuing an Invitation to Negotiate for food and beverage services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025 (note: due date predates posting date of October 8, 2026, suggesting an administrative data anomaly); Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce vendor proposals for 2026-2027, due August 21, 2026; and the State of Georgia requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products, due June 22, 2026. The code shows limited activity specifically targeting non-GMO pinkeye peas as a line-item commodity; most recent procurements treat produce as one component within integrated food-service and supply-chain contracts.
