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 (Commodity) does not reflect the scope of work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a single specialty squash variety, yet the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations for jack be little squash or comparable specialty produce items. Instead, the opportunities posted under this code span broad, multi-item fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs and state food service operations—covering dozens of produce line items (apples, bananas, vegetables, berries, eggs) rather than single-variety goods. The mismatch suggests either a systematic miscoding in source data or that the code has been applied broadly to general produce procurement categories beyond its nominal commodity definition. School districts and state agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, with a strong concentration in Georgia (Glynn County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, and State of Georgia), supplemented by districts in Texas (Northside Independent School District, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District), Florida (Hillsborough County Public Schools), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). No procurement activity is present that targets jack be little squash as a line item or primary commodity.

Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's RFP (due June 8, 2026) seeking line-by-line bids for 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies for school nutrition programs, the Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce delivery to 127 schools across the San Antonio area under USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards, and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 (due March 4, 2026) through the GEC Buying Cooperative spanning produce and eggs across 30 Georgia school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. Hillsborough County Public Schools issued RFP 26039RFQDST (due March 11, 2026) for fresh fruit and vegetable delivery to the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at elementary schools with an estimated annual budget of $600,000. Given the consistent miscoding of broad produce procurement under a specialty squash commodity code, business development professionals should treat this code as a low-signal indicator for jack be little squash opportunities and instead monitor school nutrition and state food service categories for the actual scope of work being transacted.
