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 covering fresh produce items, particularly specialty vegetables, that state and local governments procure through food-service operations, school nutrition programs, and institutional dining facilities. State and local buyers under this code include county parks and recreation departments operating concession facilities, school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, state procurement offices sourcing for institutional food services, and regional health-care coalitions. The work involves supplying fresh, compliant produce to meet operational and contractual food-safety requirements, often with specification details around ripeness, delivery windows, temperature maintenance, and organic or non-GMO certification where mandated. Vendors must typically demonstrate compliance with USDA regulations, food-safety protocols, and domestic-sourcing preferences in certain jurisdictions.

Recent activity shows county and school-district procurement dominating the code's current footprint. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for food services at North Collier Regional Park, seeking vendors to supply fresh food and beverages across multiple concession venues, with local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points.

The State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Geographic concentration appears in Georgia and Florida, with school districts and county recreational authorities representing the primary issuing-body mix in recent postings.
