UNSPSC 50593503: Dried Non GMO black enorma eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO black enorma eggplants that have been dried for preservation. 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 50593503 Dried Non GMO black enorma eggplants is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single produce item, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it span broad food service procurement across school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, state-supported living facilities, and institutional food supply. The code shows little activity directly aligned to dried eggplants; instead, issuing bodies are using it to solicit grocery items, fresh produce, and meal-service contracts that fall outside its stated scope. School districts dominate the recent posting activity, with Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, and Bridgeport Board of Education each soliciting major food and produce contracts. State agencies and county governments also appear—Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for El Paso State Supported Living Center, the State of Georgia for food and kitchen products, and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners for senior meal preparation and delivery. The actual work being procured includes fresh produce by case (apples, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), packaged meal boxes, breakfast and lunch items, and full meal preparation and delivery services, all subject to Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent) and compliance with school nutrition standards or state health regulations.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative recent solicitations include Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce for school year 2026-27, due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items of fruits and vegetables for delivery to three school sites; Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' IFB for grocery items supporting the National School Lunch Program, due June 30, 2026, with over 1,100 line items and delivery to a central warehouse and school sites; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at El Paso State Supported Living Center, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period guideline value of $1.5 million; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services spanning congregate and home-delivery models, estimated at $17.8 million over three years, due June 25, 2026; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District's bid for Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program packaged meal boxes, due April 29, 2026. The code shows low relevance to its stated commodity name and signals that procurement professionals should verify actual scope against UNSPSC classification when evaluating opportunities posted under this code.
