UNSPSC 50623400: Non GMO eggplant purees

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO eggplants. 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 50623400 Non GMO eggplant purees is a Class code that classifies specialty produce and vegetable products for institutional food service. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily health and human services agencies, corrections departments, school districts, and county social services purchasing food for residential facilities, cafeterias, and community programs. The work involves procuring shelf-stable and fresh food products—including prepared foods, canned goods, frozen items, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies—in bulk quantities for on-site food service operations and canteen programs. Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, school districts, and state agencies managing supported living centers and institutional care facilities. These jurisdictions typically purchase hundreds of line items across multiple food categories in annual or multi-year contracts valued in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Oregon. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple IFBs for food and consumables at state-supported living centers, including HHS0018082 (consumables for Lufkin facility, due October 23, 2026) and HHS0017449 for El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 11, 2026).

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited shelf-stable food items under IWQ 140229 (informal written quote, due October 19, 2026).

The State of Illinois issued a quarterly food order solicitation for July-September 2026. Activity shows consistent demand for bulk food procurement from correctional facilities, state health and human services agencies, and school nutrition programs, with responses typically due within two to four weeks of posting.
