UNSPSC 50594004: Dried Non GMO snow peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO snow peas 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 50594004 Dried Non GMO snow peas is a Commodity code that maps poorly to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source block. The code nominally names a single dried produce item, but the recent solicitations under this tag span broad grocery and food service procurement across school districts, county nutrition programs, and municipal catering, with no specific mention of dried snow peas as a line item in any recent opportunity. The City of Bridgeport's grocery bid (IFB, June 30, 2026 due date) and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB, April 27, 2026 due date) both specify over 1,000 line items across dozens of food categories—cereals, frozen products, condiments, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and snack items—but neither identifies dried non-GMO snow peas explicitly. Similarly, the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution solicitation seeks main-line distributor services for approximately 32,000 meals daily with an estimated annual spend of $9 million, and the Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce bid lists over 200 line items spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, root vegetables, melons, citrus, and leafy greens, with no specific reference to dried snow peas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's state supported living center food procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, July 13, 2026 due date) and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery contract (ITB2600289, $17.8 million estimated value, June 25, 2026 due date) also show no indication that dried non-GMO snow peas are a specified commodity.

Issuing bodies active under this code include school districts (Fairfax County, Bridgeport Board of Education, Douglas County, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, Meriden Public Schools, and Pascagoula-Gautier), county nutrition authorities (Hillsborough County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), and city procurement offices (Bridgeport, Dallas, Meriden). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Connecticut—and Mid-Atlantic regions, with representation also in Texas and Virginia. The code exhibits considerable recent procurement volume overall, but the activity is driven by large foodservice and nutrition contracts that source hundreds of commodity lines, not dried non-GMO snow peas specifically. Vendors pursuing this code should verify whether dried non-GMO snow peas appear as a line item in their target district's detailed specification sheet or RFP attachment before committing bid resources, as the code-to-opportunity alignment appears incidental rather than indicative of material demand for this specific product.
