UNSPSC 50586116: Non GMO orangetti squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO orangetti 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 50586116 Non GMO orangetti squash is a Commodity code that represents fresh produce items sourced for institutional food service, including school meals, healthcare facilities, parks and recreation food operations, and state institutional kitchens. State and local governments procure this product primarily as part of broader produce and food-supply contracts rather than as a standalone line item. Issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. Recent opportunities show produce being bought alongside other fresh fruits and vegetables in multi-item food-service solicitations that emphasize compliance with food safety regulations, product freshness guarantees, USDA nutritional standards, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery logistics.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with the most visible opportunities from Georgia (state-level food supplies procurement and Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid for the National School Lunch Program), Florida (Collier County's food services for North Collier Regional Park via ITN, due March 6, 2025), and Marion Health Care Coalition produce procurement (due August 21, 2026). Early County Board of Education's bid due June 8, 2026 represents a representative institutional opportunity requiring line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including fresh vegetables and fruits delivered Monday through Friday to three schools, with emphasis on whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Marion Health Care Coalition's August 21, 2026 produce proposal solicitation explicitly targets fresh fruits and vegetables for institutional operations with seasonal pricing adjustments. The code shows modest recent activity overall; opportunities are typically embedded within large multi-category food and supplies bids rather than called out as discrete squash purchases.
