UNSPSC 50623410: Non GMO japanese eggplant purees

The variety of Non GMO eggplants known as Non GMO japanese 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 50623410 Non GMO Japanese eggplant purees is a Commodity code that does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local opportunities. The recent opportunities tagged to this code—a Texas Health and Human Services Commission food supply IFB for a state supported living center, a Gwinnett County food procurement for senior services, an Oregon Department of Corrections canned-tomato bid, a Georgia school nutrition food bid, and a Texas Department of Criminal Justice cafeteria food products IFB—cover shelf-stable foods, fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, condiments, and food service supplies broadly. None of the recent solicitations include Japanese eggplant purees, non-GMO or otherwise. The code appears to be a misclassification or data-entry error in the underlying procurement records; the actual buying activity spans general food-service commodities, not a specialized vegetable product.

The issuing bodies are state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections), county governments (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County), and school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia). Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHS Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), covering 22 line items of prepared foods and food service supplies for fiscal year 2027 operations; Gwinnett County's IWQ 140229 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026); and the Texas TDCJ IFB 304T-26-300CF for approximately 382 line items of cafeteria food products across five warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). Because the code's nominal scope does not match the documented buying activity, business development professionals should verify actual commodity classifications before targeting procurement opportunities in this category.
