UNSPSC 50603518: Frozen Non GMO thai eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO thai 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 50603518 Frozen Non GMO thai eggplants is a Commodity code that in practice captures frozen specialty vegetables and fresh produce procured by state and local agencies for institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying frozen and fresh produce — including eggplants, root vegetables, and seasonal items — as components of larger food-service contracts for senior centers, schools, and state-level dining programs. The code appears primarily in multi-item food RFQs and formal bids where produce is one line item among dozens of shelf-stable and fresh food products rather than as standalone specialty-produce solicitations. Issuing bodies include county governments (particularly in Georgia), school districts, and state agencies, with the work typically sourced through informal quotes (IWQ), line-by-line bids, or consolidated food-supply RFQs rather than standalone procurement focused on a single produce item.
