UNSPSC 50585501: Non GMO long white potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO long white potatoes. 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 50585501 Non GMO long white potatoes is a Commodity code that represents a narrow product line within state and local food service procurement, yet the source records show virtually no direct solicitation activity for this specific item. School districts and other public bodies across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida have posted fourteen fresh produce solicitations since early February 2026, but these are broad commodity procurements spanning 60 to 900+ line items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, berries, tomatoes, eggs, and prepared produce) with potatoes—if named at all—listed as one item among dozens in general vegetable categories. The code's hyperspecificity (non-GMO long whites) diverges sharply from how state and local procurement offices actually solicit produce: they bundle dozens of produce types in single RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs and award on a line-item basis to the lowest responsive bidder, making it difficult for vendors pursuing only a single potato variety to compete effectively or to identify when potatoes are part of an active solicitation.

School districts remain the primary issuers—Douglas County School System (Georgia), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County (Georgia), Liberty County (Georgia), Glynn County (Georgia), Bulloch County (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri)—with the State of Georgia posting general fresh-produce IFBs. Opportunities cluster in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative recent procurements include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food RFP (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items for child nutrition programs, Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP (due May 7, 2026) emphasizing Texas-grown products and USDA compliance, and Douglas County's cooperative-purchasing RFP (due March 4, 2026) budgeting $4.4 million for 72 produce line items across 18 districts. None of these solicitations isolates potatoes or any single produce variety as a standalone contract line; potatoes appear only within broader vegetable assortments, typically at modest annual case quantities. The code shows minimal standalone activity and presents limited pursuit value unless a vendor can compete on cost and reliability across 60+ other produce items.
