UNSPSC 50623401: Non GMO bambino eggplant purees

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO bambino 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 50623401 Non GMO bambino eggplant purees, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for eggplant purees or related specialty produce items. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food-service procurement — weekly food orders, canned tomatoes, fresh produce, cafeteria staples, school nutrition groceries, and supplemental foods for state facilities — none of which reference eggplant products or non-GMO specialty vegetable purees as a line item or scope element. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests either a data-entry error in the tagging or that this code sees no meaningful recent activity in state and local contracting.

School districts, state corrections departments, and state health and human services agencies dominate the recent food-procurement landscape, with opportunities posted across Illinois, Texas, Oregon, Georgia, and Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include the State of Illinois Veterans Home's FY-27 quarterly food order (RFQ, due June 26, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's supplemental food and consumables bid for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million); the Oregon Department of Corrections' canned tomatoes procurement (approximately 7,616 cases, due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 term contract covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). None of these solicitations reference non-GMO eggplant purees or specialty vegetable products as a purchased item. If pursuing this code, verify the procurement vehicle and customer segment directly rather than relying on the current tagging structure.
