UNSPSC 50613505: Canned or jarred Non GMO easter egg eggplants

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO easter egg 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 50613505 Canned or jarred Non GMO easter egg eggplants, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities record contains no solicitations for the specified product—canned or jarred non-GMO easter egg eggplants—and instead predominantly reflects food service procurement for institutional facilities. The opportunities posted under this code span consumables for state-supported living centers, school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state hospitals, encompassing shelf-stable proteins, canned vegetables, frozen items, dairy, grains, and food service supplies. The issuing bodies include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller's office, the Oregon Department of Corrections, state departments in Georgia and Illinois, county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). The code appears to be tagged with general institutional food procurement rather than the specific produce item its name denotes.

The recent activity concentrates in Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0018082 for consumables at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center, due October 23, 2026, spanning 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies; the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, due October 19, 2026; the Oregon Department of Corrections' IFB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (posted June 5, 2026), and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across multiple warehouse locations, extended to May 4, 2026. No recent opportunities specifically seek canned or jarred easter egg eggplants, whether GMO or non-GMO. The code exhibits a misclassification issue that limits its utility for vendors in that niche commodity—pursue only if your firm supplies broader institutional food service lines, not if your core offering is specialty preserved produce.
