UNSPSC 50585304: Non GMO white acre peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO white acre 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 50585304 Non GMO white acre peas is a Commodity code covering specialty legume products for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show minimal direct sourcing of this specific item and instead reveal broader procurement patterns for produce and food supplies across regional health systems, school districts, and county parks. The few opportunities posted under or near this code reflect purchasing by counties, school districts, and health care coalitions for fresh produce, prepared foods, and complete food-service operations rather than discrete commodity purchases of white acre peas. Issuing bodies are fragmented across multiple jurisdiction types: county boards of commissioners managing regional parks and concessions, independent school districts procuring for breakfast and lunch programs, state departments of education or agriculture, and regional health care coalitions serving institutional food needs.

Geographic activity is sparse and scattered. Recent opportunities appear in Georgia (State of Georgia food supplies procurement and Early County Board of Education) and Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), with a Marion Health Care Coalition opportunity that does not specify state. The Early County Board of Education ITB, due June 8, 2026, sought line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, emphasizing domestic sourcing and whole-grain options but without naming white acre peas specifically. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a response date of March 6, 2025, and Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows no concentrated recent activity in any single state or jurisdiction type, and the nomimal commodity (non-GMO white acre peas) does not align with the actual procurement patterns captured in the recent opportunities.
