UNSPSC 50603515: Frozen Non GMO pea eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO pea 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 50603515 Frozen Non GMO pea eggplants is a Commodity code covering specialty frozen vegetables for institutional food service. State and local procurement activity under this code spans county governments, state agencies, and school districts purchasing food items for senior services, general food supply programs, and child nutrition initiatives. The scope of work includes frozen and fresh produce procured as part of larger food-service contracts that bundle proteins, starches, canned goods, dairy, and fresh vegetables together; pea eggplants specifically appear as line items within broader food-procurement RFQs and bids rather than as standalone solicitations. Issuing bodies include counties (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), state departments (State of Georgia), and independent school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts managing child nutrition programs under National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program authority and counties supporting senior services meal programs.
