UNSPSC 50586123: Non GMO sweet dumpling squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO sweet dumpling 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 50586123 Non GMO sweet dumpling squash (Commodity) represents a narrow fresh-produce category that state and local governments purchase primarily through food-service procurement for schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and state institutional feeding programs. The code captures a single produce line item rather than a broad commodity family, and recent state and local opportunities show that procurement under this code sits within larger food-and-produce solicitations that bundle vegetables, fruits, and related food items together in line-by-line bid formats. Issuing bodies include county park departments, school districts, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions. The actual purchasing under the code occurs as one line among dozens in comprehensive food-service contracts, not as standalone produce acquisitions.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with solicitations from Collier County (Florida), Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in the source), Georgia state purchasing, and Early County Schools (Georgia). The Early County Board of Education issued an IFB (PE55045NONST2027000000006, due June 8, 2026) seeking line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools, with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. The State of Georgia posted a general bid for food and kitchen products (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) with full scope contained in an attached document. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals for the 2026-2027 contract period (SP0040000017708, due August 21, 2026). Collier County's ITN for food services at North Collier Regional Park (258360, due March 6, 2025) emphasized menu variety but did not isolate individual produce line items. The narrow commodity scope and the absence of produce-specific standalone solicitations suggest limited direct pursuit opportunity under this code; vendors typically win access to sweet dumpling squash purchases as part of broader produce or food-service contracts negotiated at the Family or Class level.
