UNSPSC 50603507: Frozen Non GMO florida market eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO florida market 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.

UNSPSC 50603507 Frozen Non GMO Florida Market Eggplants is a Commodity code that captures frozen vegetable procurement, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show little activity explicitly targeting eggplants; instead, the code appears tagged to broader food service buys that include shelf-stable and fresh produce as line items within larger vendor aggregations. The work state and local governments actually buy spans school lunch programs, senior services meal provision, and general institutional food service. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County), state government procurement (Georgia Department of Administrative Services), and school district food service departments (Early County Board of Education). These jurisdictions treat frozen and fresh produce as components of comprehensive food-service contracts rather than as standalone commodity purchases, bundling vegetables with proteins, dairy, grains, and paper supplies in single IFQ, IFB, or bid solicitations.

Recent opportunities confirm this pattern. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for senior services, emphasizing shelf-stable products but including canned vegetables as line items. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for school lunch and breakfast programs across three schools, specifying 300+ food items encompassing vegetables and fruits alongside proteins, dairy, and grains, with delivery requirements (6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday) and emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope details in an attached solicitation document. Activity concentrates in Georgia, with school districts and county social services as the primary buying offices.
