UNSPSC 50623409: Non GMO italian eggplant purees

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO italian 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 50623409 Non GMO Italian eggplant purees, a Commodity code, sees limited recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers specialty vegetable purees, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little or no alignment with eggplant products specifically. Instead, the opportunities reflect broad-based food service procurement across institutional settings — school nutrition programs, state correctional facilities, state health and human services centers, and veterans' homes — where vendors supply hundreds of line items spanning proteins, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods on annual contracts.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI and Burke County Public Schools in Missouri; Liberty County, Muscogee County, and Savannah-Chatham County school systems in Georgia; Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs). A few solicitations from late January through mid-June 2026 touch produce categories — canned tomatoes (Oregon DOC in February and June), fresh produce and eggs (Douglas County Schools RFP in February with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million to $1.1 million by geographic area), and fresh produce (Georgia State in April and Muscogee County School District in March) — but none explicitly call for eggplant purees. The code shows no meaningful recent opportunities for the specific product it nominally describes. Business development professionals should treat this code as inactive for speciality eggplant purees and instead monitor broader produce and food service family codes (UNSPSC 50600000 and subordinate classes) where actual institutional food procurement activity concentrates.
