UNSPSC 50585306: Non GMO zipper cream peas

The variety of Non GMO peas known as Non GMO zipper cream 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 50585306 Non GMO zipper cream peas is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual procurement activity posted under this code. The recent solicitations tagged to this code are generic food-service and fresh-produce contracts for school districts and state agencies, with no specific references to zipper cream peas or any legume-category items. The code shows material divergence between its nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under it.

State and local school districts, county boards of education, and state purchasing offices are issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for broad fresh-produce procurement and child-nutrition grocery services—encompassing hundreds of line items spanning fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats, grains, and prepared entrees—rather than sourcing the specialized commodity this code nominally describes. The issuing bodies include school nutrition programs across Georgia (Bulloch County, Glynn County, Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County), Texas (Northside ISD, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), as well as state-level procurement offices in Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch Program; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce prioritization; Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program RFP (RFP 26039RFQDST, due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables to 18 elementary schools; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing RFP (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 districts across Georgia with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. Activity is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. This code does not merit pursuit unless your firm supplies fresh produce broadly to school-nutrition programs; the specific zipper cream pea commodity is not visible in current state and local solicitations under this code.
