UNSPSC 50594005: Dried Non GMO sugar snap peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO sugar snap 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 50594005 Dried Non GMO sugar snap peas (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity focused on school nutrition programs and institutional food service, though the recent solicitations indexed under this code span a much broader scope of food and consumable products than dried sugar snap peas alone. The Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items contract, the Hancock County Schools fresh produce procurement, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's summer meal boxes all fall within child nutrition compliance frameworks—Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, adherence to the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP plans, and nutritional standards. School districts and boards of education dominate the issuing-body mix, reflecting the federal funding and regulatory structure of child nutrition programs. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners also appear, expanding the customer base beyond K-12 to state-supported living centers and senior meal programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Mississippi, and Florida. The Hancock County Schools IFB for fresh produce (sealed bids due June 26, 2026) and the Bridgeport Board of Education's 1,100-line-item grocery contract (electronic bids due June 30, 2026, supporting the National School Lunch Program) represent the most granular recent opportunities. Texas HHS posted an IFB for food and consumable products (proposals due July 13, 2026, historical value $1.5 million annually) serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center with CPI adjustment provisions and one renewal option. Hillsborough County's ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery (bids due June 25, 2026, estimated three-year value $17,832,659.90) requires licensed, permitted caterers on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs list. The code shows substantial activity, but the mismatch between the Commodity's nominal scope (dried sugar snap peas) and the actual procurements indexed to it (broad grocery, fresh produce, and meal service contracts) suggests misclassification in state posting systems rather than authentic dried-peas demand signals.
