UNSPSC 50585303: Non GMO crowder peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO crowder 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 50585303 Non GMO crowder peas (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations for crowder peas, GMO or non-GMO, under this code or related produce categories.

The sixteen most recent opportunities tagged to UNSPSC codes in the same produce-and-food-service family span fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida — including RFPs and IFBs from Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Austin Independent School District, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education, Glynn County Board of Education, and a multi-district cooperative procurement through Douglas County School System and the GEC Buying Cooperative. All cite broad fresh produce categories (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables, citrus, peppers, tomatoes, eggs) but none names crowder peas or legume specialties as line items. The broader produce family absorbs institutional food service demand — school lunch programs dominate the issuing bodies — but crowder peas occupy no visible niche in these solicitations. If the code assignment reflects actual procurement, the activity is either sporadic, concentrated in jurisdictions not surfaced in this dataset, or absorbed into broader vegetable or legume aggregates that bypass commodity-level specificity.
