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, shows no meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The code sources little activity from school districts, state nutrition agencies, or other state and local buyers. A May 2026 Georgia state RFQ tagged "Food, Supplies, and Other Kitchen Products" references the code but provides no scope detail; the attachment remains undescribed in available records. State and local procurement in the fresh produce category—the natural home for a malanga commodity—centers instead on broader produce line-item solicitations from school nutrition programs rather than specialty root vegetables or single-item procurements.

Recent school nutrition produce solicitations across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri document competitive procurement for apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, potatoes, eggs, and prepared produce items, but malanga appears in none of the representative opportunities posted since early February 2026. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all issued IFBs and RFPs for produce supply at line-item-level pricing during this window; none reference specialty root crops. The code warrants classification as inactive for current state and local business development purposes.
