UNSPSC 50623402: Non GMO black beauty 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 50623402 Non GMO black beauty eggplant purees is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as a specialty ingredient input for institutional food service operations, though the recent-opportunities block shows no solicitations specifically requesting this item. Instead, the code appears tagged to broader food procurement activities that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, condiments, and prepared foods. The mismatch between the code's narrow product definition and the actual scope of recent opportunities suggests this Commodity sits within larger institutional grocery or food service contracts rather than being solicited as a discrete product line.

The recent opportunities reveal that state and local food procurement flows through school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Burke County and Liberty County in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Douglas County in Georgia), state agencies managing residential facilities (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for supported living centers and state hospitals, Oregon Department of Corrections for inmates, Illinois Veterans Home for veterans), and correctional departments. Issuing bodies span multiple states—Texas, Oregon, Illinois, Georgia, and Missouri—with school districts dominating the recent activity. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026, under IFB), the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response deadline June 19, 2026), and Ben Hill County Schools' IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories (response deadline June 15, 2026). School nutrition programs across Georgia and multi-district cooperative buys through vehicles like the GEC Buying Cooperative show consistent purchasing of fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and prepared items—but not eggplant purees in particular. The code records no recent standalone solicitations for the named commodity and should be evaluated as a low-activity or mistagged code for business development purposes.
