UNSPSC 50613504: Canned or jarred Non GMO chinese eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO chinese eggplants that have been canned or jarred 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 50613504 Canned or jarred Non GMO chinese eggplants, a Commodity code, does not match the scope of state and local procurement activity captured in recent opportunities. The sourced opportunities reflect broad food-supply contracting by state agencies, school districts, and institutional buyers, but none specifically procure canned or jarred non-GMO Chinese eggplants or even specialized preserved vegetable products at the SKU level. The recent opportunities instead address general grocery, fresh produce, cafeteria food, and institutional food-service categories—work that spans dozens or hundreds of line items per contract rather than targeting niche preserved-vegetable commodities.

The issuing bodies in the opportunity set include state departments (Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and their agencies), county school systems (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County), and multi-county cooperative purchasing vehicles (Douglas County School System serving 30 districts across the GEC Buying Cooperative). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia, Texas, Oregon) and Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), with the most recent solicitations posted between February and June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response due July 13, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract (response due April 27, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned-tomato procurement (response due June 19, 2026). This code shows no recent dedicated demand signal and may warrant reclassification or clarification against the actual commodity being bought.
