UNSPSC 50593515: Dried Non GMO pea eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO pea 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 50593515 Dried Non GMO pea eggplants is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this product as part of broader food service and nutrition programs, though recent solicitations show limited direct demand for dried pea eggplants specifically. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition, senior meal, and institutional food service contexts where it sits among hundreds of line items spanning fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, proteins, and specialty items. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipal purchasing offices. Buyers enforce National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (typically 51% domestic agricultural content for processed items), nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP food safety protocols, and substantial insurance and background-check requirements on vendors.

Recent solicitations span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases released IFB BNB052266 on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with responses due June 30, 2026, and a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with responses due July 13, 2026, and a historical contract value of $1.5 million annually. Hancock County Board of Education released IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce with responses due June 26, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners posted ITB-26-00289 on June 3, 2026, for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years, with responses due June 25, 2026. The code shows little evidence of direct procurement for dried pea eggplants as a standalone item in these recent opportunities; vendors pursuing this code should focus on inclusion within multi-line commodity food contracts rather than standalone specialty-vegetable tenders.
