UNSPSC 50603508: Frozen Non GMO indian eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO indian 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 50603508 Frozen Non GMO Indian Eggplants is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly tied to this specific product line. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly naming frozen non-GMO Indian eggplants; instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service categories including fresh produce, frozen foods and grocery items, and food supply and distribution contracts for school nutrition programs and state operations. The code itself targets a narrow processed vegetable product, but state and local buying activity under this taxonomy appears primarily concentrated in multi-item food procurement vehicles where eggplants, if sourced at all, would be line items within larger commodity bundles rather than standalone procurements.

School districts dominate the recent activity, with the Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, and Dallas Independent School District all issuing invitations for bid and requests for proposal between January and June 2026. Georgia and Missouri school districts show the heaviest concentration of recent postings. The Douglas County School System procurement (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two represents the largest identified opportunity, though it targets fresh produce rather than frozen eggplants. The City Schools of Decatur IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) and the SCCPSS fresh produce contract (Bid 26-34, due April 23, 2026) specify frozen and fresh categories but do not isolate frozen non-GMO Indian eggplants as distinct line items. Pursuit of this code requires vendor readiness to bid line-by-line within expansive school nutrition and state food service aggregations where frozen specialty vegetables compete against standard commodity offerings.
