UNSPSC 50585507: Non GMO new potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO new 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 50585507 Non GMO new potatoes is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh potatoes, typically as part of broader food service and institutional meal programs. Recent solicitations show that buyers are sourcing potatoes alongside other produce, fresh fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods for parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and multi-vendor meal programs. The work involves meeting quality standards, food-safety compliance, delivery schedules, and volume requirements specified in contracts that often run annual or multi-year terms. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid exemplifies the scope — the district seeks line-by-line bids for vegetables, fruits, and related food items to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia, with the state government, Early County Board of Education, and Marion Health Care Coalition all posting solicitations in May and August 2026. Collier County, Florida also solicited food services in October 2026 for North Collier Regional Park, which would require fresh produce and vegetables as part of concession operations. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026 covering fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period with delivery according to operational needs and seasonal availability. Early County Board of Education's food bid, due June 8, 2026 with questions due May 29, 2026, encompasses approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits, with contracts running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend three months or renew for additional one-year terms; all prices must include packing and transportation with no separate fuel charges, and vendors must comply with Buy American provisions, maintain HACCP plans, and carry $500,000 general liability insurance.
