UNSPSC 50593513: Dried Non GMO moneymaker eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO moneymaker 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 50593513 Dried Non GMO moneymaker eggplants is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations for dried eggplants or comparable specialty produce items under this code; instead, the recent opportunities tagged to this UNSPSC consistently solicit broad food service procurement spanning fresh produce, groceries, meal preparation, and food distribution for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The code's nominal scope—a single dried vegetable variety—bears no meaningful relationship to the actual purchasing activity captured in the recent-opportunities block, which reflects comprehensive food provisioning for multiple meal services across dozens of line items and vendor categories. This mismatch signals either a data classification error in how the opportunities were tagged, or that the code itself has limited relevance to current state and local procurement priorities in this commodity family.

School districts, county boards of education, and municipal health departments are the primary issuing bodies in the recent record, with representatives including Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (state-supported living center facility). The geographic footprint spans the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with particular concentration in Georgia and supporting activity in Virginia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items with a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term (due June 30, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 IFB for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and distribution centers with contract performance July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 (due April 27, 2026); and Douglas County School System's February 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two (due March 4, 2026). The code shows no current relevant procurement activity and should not be pursued.
