UNSPSC 50586126: Non GMO yellow bush scallop squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and Non GMO summer pumpkins known as Non GMO yellow bush scallop 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 50586126 Non GMO yellow bush scallop squash is a Commodity code. State and local governments do not regularly purchase this specific produce variety through dedicated solicitations; instead, squash and other fresh vegetables are acquired as line items within broader fresh produce and grocery procurement contracts serving school nutrition programs, state agencies, and county operations. Recent opportunities show school districts and state procurement offices buying produce in bulk through IFBs and RFPs that bundle dozens of vegetable and fruit items into single contracts with annual quantities and pricing structures negotiated on a per-case or per-unit basis.

School districts dominate activity under this code's parent categories, with recent solicitations from Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) all posting RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs for fresh produce between February and June 2026. State-level procurement appears in Georgia Department of Education and Missouri state agency notices. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Representative opportunities include Early County Board of Education's IFB for food and non-food products (due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food line items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and low-sodium formulations; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown prioritization; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) procuring produce for 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated spending of $5.5 million annually. Vendors bidding on these contracts must maintain HACCP certification, carry $500,000 to $2 million general liability insurance, comply with Buy American provisions, and meet firm pricing requirements with annual or semi-annual price-adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA market indices or Consumer Price Index data.
