UNSPSC 50584602: Non GMO coco malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO coco malanga. 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 50584602 Non GMO coco malanga, a Commodity code, represents specialty produce items procured for food-service operations at public facilities including parks, schools, healthcare settings, and state agencies. State and local governments buy this code for institutional food programs — school meal services, park concessions, and healthcare facility dining — where vendors supply fresh produce meeting specific quality, safety, and sourcing standards. The issuing bodies include county parks departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Vendors compete on product freshness, delivery timeliness, compliance with food-safety regulations, domestic sourcing where required, and adherence to nutritional standards such as whole-grain and low-sodium formulations or avoidance of artificial additives.

Recent activity shows scattered geographic sourcing across Florida, Georgia, and healthcare networks. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) posted October 8, 2026, for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to supply diverse food and beverage options across park facilities and concession venues, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300+ food items including produce, dairy, and proteins to support the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs at three schools, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 period. The State of Georgia posted a broader food supplies bid (due June 22, 2026) encompassing multiple product categories. No UNSPSC-specific non-GMO coco malanga line-item appears in the recent postings; the code appears to sit within larger produce and food-service procurement categories where it may be ordered incidentally rather than as a primary focus.
