Definition
The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO easter egg eggplants that have been frozen 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.
About UNSPSC 50603505
UNSPSC 50603505 Frozen Non GMO easter egg eggplants is a Commodity code that in practice covers shelf-stable and fresh food procurement for state and local institutional food service operations, including school lunch and breakfast programs, senior services, and general government cafeteria supply. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchasing departments and school districts acquiring broad baskets of food items — shelf-stable staples like canned proteins, grains, sauces, and produce alongside frozen or fresh proteins, dairy, and specialty items — rather than the narrow product category the code name suggests. Issuing bodies include county departments of community services, state procurement offices, and independent school districts; Early County Board of Education and Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners appear as active recent buyers.
Activity concentrates in Georgia, where three recent opportunities span state-level food procurement, county senior services supply, and school district lunch-program sourcing. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted IWQ 140229 requesting informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, and pasta, with quotes due October 19, 2026, for delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 at F.O.B. Destination. Early County Board of Education posted an IFB for FY27 food and non-food products across the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, grains) plus non-food and paper supplies, firm pricing for 15 days post-award, and a contract period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with extension options. The State of Georgia also posted a broader food and kitchen products bid in May 2026 with due date June 22, 2026. Vendors should expect Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, general liability insurance of at least $500,000, E-Verify verification, and food-recall procedures as standard requirements.
