UNSPSC 50584604: Non GMO islena malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO islena 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 50584604 Non GMO islena malanga, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product line within fresh produce procurement by state and local governments. The specific product—non-GMO islena malanga, a root vegetable—shows little direct purchase activity in recent state and local solicitations. However, the broader category of fresh vegetables and produce appears across multiple recent opportunities, where governments and regional health coalitions solicit produce vendors to supply fresh fruits and vegetables for food service operations, school nutrition programs, and park concessions. State and local buyers under this code span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation divisions (Collier County), regional health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state-level procurement (State of Georgia). The work involves meeting food-safety compliance, adhering to seasonal availability and pricing adjustments, maintaining product freshness guarantees, and delivering to specified locations on defined schedules.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with documented solicitations from Georgia, Florida (Collier County), and Marion Health Care Coalition. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB for line-by-line food bids due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026, for food services at North Collier Regional Park, with proposals due March 6, 2025, requiring vendors to provide diverse food and beverage options including fresh produce across multiple venues. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026, for the 2026-2027 contract period covering provision and delivery of fresh fruits and vegetables. The State of Georgia requested bids on food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, with full scope contained in attached documentation. Recent solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium options, and compliance with USDA nutritional guidelines and food-safety regulations.
