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 is a Commodity code covering specialty legume products procured by state and local food-service operations. State and local governments buy crowder peas and similar legume items primarily through school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare facilities operating food services. The recent opportunities show procurement flowing through county parks concession operations, school lunch programs, and healthcare coalition procurement — the work involves sourcing fresh or processed produce items meeting specific food-safety, quality, and nutritional standards, often with preferences for domestic sourcing, non-GMO specifications, and compliance with USDA program requirements like the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in the Southeast, with recent solicitations from Collier County, Florida (North Collier Regional Park food concessions, ITN posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce proposals, due August 21, 2026), Early County Schools in Georgia (school lunch program line-by-line food bids, due June 8, 2026), and a statewide Georgia procurement for food and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). School districts and county park systems represent the most active issuing bodies in recent postings. The Commodity code shows limited recent volume — no incumbent vendors or contract values are named in the available records, and the sourcing appears episodic rather than continuous. Crowder peas are not explicitly named in any of the four recent opportunities, suggesting the code may see use primarily when healthcare facilities, school nutrition programs, or parks operations specifically request specialty legume varieties as part of broader produce or food-service bids.
