UNSPSC 50626915: Non GMO darfon peas

The variety of Non GMO sugar peas known as Non GMO darfon peas. 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 50626915 Non GMO darfon peas is a Commodity code representing a narrow product line within the broader food procurement landscape. State and local governments buy this code to supply food service operations at institutional facilities—primarily schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies—where peas appear as line items within comprehensive food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. The code shows minimal independent solicitation activity; darfon peas are embedded within larger grocery or produce bids covering hundreds of items, and no recent opportunities in the source focus specifically on non-GMO peas as a distinct commodity.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and state veterans' facilities (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Missouri, with secondary activity in Illinois and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities framing the broader market include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 (food and consumables for state supported living centers, RFP response due July 13, 2026), the Ben Hill County Schools IFB #26271 (comprehensive food bid for four schools, bids due June 15, 2026), and the Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 (Master Grocery K-12 contract covering 45 schools and distribution centers, bids due April 27, 2026). Within these solicitations, peas and similar vegetables are priced and bid as individual line items within USDA commodity classes or produce categories. The source contains no recent opportunities—posted within the past 60 days—that isolate non-GMO darfon peas as a distinct procurement vehicle, suggesting the code is active only as a component within larger food service aggregations.
