UNSPSC 50585305: Non GMO blackeyed peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO blackeyed 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 50585305 Non GMO blackeyed peas is a Commodity code that represents a single product line within food service procurement, though the recent solicitations tagged under it show broader food and produce sourcing rather than black-eyed peas specifically. State and local governments buying under this code acquire fresh produce and food items for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and regional institutions. The issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement agencies. Early County Board of Education, Collier County Parks and Recreation, Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia all appear as recent buyers, with school districts and county agencies driving the most visible activity.

The geographic spread includes Georgia (State of Georgia procurement, Early County Schools), Florida (Collier County), and references to Marion Healthcare Coalition (location not specified in the summaries provided). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line bids for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables, fruits, and miscellaneous products for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 under an IFB structure; Collier County Parks and Recreation issuing an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025 (note: posted date October 8, 2026 with a past due date suggests this may be a data anomaly); Marion Health Care Coalition seeking produce proposals due August 21, 2026; and the State of Georgia requesting bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County's bid emphasizes domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, reflecting institutional procurement priorities around nutrition and ingredient quality.
