UNSPSC 50586111: Non GMO jack be little squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO jack be little squash. 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 50586111 Non GMO jack be little squash is a Commodity code that covers specialty produce items, specifically non-GMO varieties of jack be little squash. The recent state and local procurement activity under this code, however, shows no direct solicitations for this specific product. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code reflect broader food-service procurement across multiple issuing-body types: county parks and recreation departments, health care coalitions, state food-service programs, and school districts. The work being solicited spans food-service contracting (comprehensive catering and concession operations), produce-supply agreements covering diverse fresh fruits and vegetables, and line-by-line food-product bidding for school nutrition programs. Issuing bodies range from Collier County's Parks and Recreation Division to state-level Georgia food procurement to Early County Board of Education, reflecting a mix of county government, health care entities, state agencies, and K–12 school districts.

The recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, with visible activity in Florida (Collier County), Georgia (state level and Early County), and multi-state produce procurement through Marion Health Care Coalition. The most recent solicitation is Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park (due March 6, 2025, ITN 258360), which requires a qualified vendor to provide diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a three-year term and two one-year renewal options; evaluation criteria include vendor qualifications, WBE/MBE status, menu variety, and a 10-point local-vendor preference. Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for food products (due June 8, 2026, IFB PE55045NONST2027000000006) covers approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products for the National School Lunch Program with domestic sourcing preferences and firm pricing for 15 days post-award. The code shows little activity directly tied to non-GMO jack be little squash specifically; opportunities are tagged to the code but reflect general produce and food-service procurement rather than the niche specialty vegetable the code nominally describes.
