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 that names a single agricultural product line. State and local governments procure this item almost exclusively through school nutrition programs serving institutional meal services. Recent solicitations show that white acre peas appear as line items within broader fresh produce and grocery procurement efforts, where they compete alongside dozens of other vegetable and legume options on the same bid. School districts and county boards of education source non-GMO white acre peas as components of breakfast and lunch menus, typically through multi-item RFPs, RFQs, or IFBs that bundle produce, proteins, grains, and prepared foods into single awards. The commodity rarely appears as a standalone solicitation; instead, vendors bid unit pricing alongside hundreds of parallel items (apples, carrots, broccoli, potatoes, beans, eggs) to supply weekly or daily delivery to multiple school sites. Pricing is commonly indexed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service terminal market reports or Urner Barry wholesale benchmarks, with cost-plus fixed-fee structures prevalent among larger districts.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri dominate recent procurement activity under this code. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, as an RFQ encompassing 300+ food items including legumes and vegetables for July 2026–June 2027 delivery; the Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, targeting 30 school districts across two geographic areas with approximately $5.5 million in estimated annual spending on 72 produce and egg line items due March 4, 2026. Northside Independent School District (Texas, Bexar County) posted RFP 2026-048 on April 14, 2026, for fresh produce delivery to 137 campuses with proposals due May 7, 2026, while Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri, St. Louis County) solicited over 900 grocery line items including vegetables and legumes due April 29, 2026. White acre peas as a named commodity remain embedded within these larger multi-item procurements rather than emerging as independent buying signals; vendors pursuing this code should expect to bid it as one line within 60–300-item produce and grocery specifications, not as a category differentiator.
