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 (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope describes a single legume product, but the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for pinkeye peas—GMO or otherwise. The recent activity under related produce procurement codes (likely UNSPSC 50 Segment–Food Products and related classes) shows robust demand for fresh produce across school nutrition programs, but the opportunities cluster around comprehensive fresh-produce categories (apples, bananas, vegetables, eggs, berries), bulk grocery items, and specialty fresh-fruit programs rather than specific dry-goods legumes. School districts, county boards of education, and state procurement offices in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida have posted 16 recent RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for food service procurement since February 2026—but none names pinkeye peas as a line item or requirement.

The active procurement landscape for institutional food service does target dried and canned legume commodities as part of broader grocery or produce contracts, and institutional buyers do specify non-GMO or sourcing preferences when nutrition standards require it. However, pinkeye peas as a discrete commodity code does not surface in the recent opportunity set. If your firm supplies pinkeye peas to food service distributors or institutional buyers, the relevant entry point is through broader produce, commodity, or grocery RFPs and IFBs issued by school nutrition programs and state agencies—not through narrow single-item procurement notices. Monitor the Family-level codes that govern bulk foods and legume products rather than this specific commodity code, and track cooperative purchasing vehicle solicitations (such as the GEC Buying Cooperative procurement shown here) where ingredient commodity sourcing often occurs at scale across multiple school districts.
