UNSPSC 50603514: Frozen Non GMO ova eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO ova 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 50603514 Frozen Non GMO ova eggplants, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct relevance to current state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations seeking frozen non-GMO eggplants; instead, the tagged opportunities are broad food service contracts for school nutrition programs, fresh produce, grocery items, and food supply distribution. While eggs appear as line items in several school nutrition solicitations (notably the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for 30 school districts across Georgia), frozen eggplants do not surface in any of the recent postings examined. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests this code receives little direct use in current state and local purchasing.

School nutrition programs, the dominant issuing bodies in the recent-opportunity dataset, procure food broadly through RFPs and IFBs that typically bundle eggs, fresh produce, frozen foods, and grocery items into comprehensive annual contracts rather than isolating individual commodity lines. Douglas County School System, the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District all issued nutrition-focused solicitations between January and June 2026, but none specifically target frozen eggplants. The geographic concentration reflects activity in Georgia (multiple school districts), Missouri (Rockwood), and Texas (Dallas), with no evidence of systematic procurement under this code across other states or issuing bodies. Unless the code is being misapplied in the state system or frozen eggplants are embedded within broader grocery-item line-item bids, this commodity code does not represent an active pursuit opportunity in current state and local procurement.
