UNSPSC 50586212: Non GMO nemagold sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO nemagold sweet potatoes. 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 50586212 Non GMO nemagold sweet potatoes is a Commodity code that sees sparse recent state and local procurement activity. The code describes a specific produce line — non-GMO nemagold sweet potatoes — yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span general produce procurement (fresh fruits and vegetables), food-service concessions at parks, school-lunch programs covering hundreds of food items, and state-level food and kitchen supplies. The mismatch suggests either broad tagging of produce categories at the commodity level or inconsistent code assignment by issuing bodies. When opportunities do reference produce, they are issued by county park authorities, school districts, healthcare coalitions, and state agencies, soliciting through ITNs, RFPs, and IFBs with response dates ranging from early June 2026 through March 2025.

Recent activity appears across Georgia, Florida, and unspecified locations where state agencies and school districts manage food procurement. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025, including concessions across multiple venues; evaluation criteria weight local-vendor preference (10 points), menu variety, and food-safety compliance. Early County Board of Education released a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for school meal programs, with an emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain compliance. The Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals on August 7, 2026 due August 21, 2026. Georgia's statewide bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products closed June 22, 2026. None of these opportunities explicitly identify non-GMO nemagold sweet potatoes as a line item, limiting the code's relevance to firms focused on that specific commodity.
