UNSPSC 50586513: Non GMO jarrahdale squash

The variety of Non GMO winter squashes and Non GMO winter pumpkins known as Non GMO jarrahdale 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 50586513 Non GMO jarrahdale squash is a Commodity code that covers specialty produce items procured by state and local food-service operations. Recent solicitations show that state and local governments buy non-GMO and specialty produce primarily through school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices to support cafeteria operations, park concessions, and institutional food services. The work involves sourcing fresh produce to specification, meeting food-safety and quality standards, maintaining delivery schedules, and complying with domestic sourcing and nutritional preferences increasingly embedded in state and local food procurement.

Activity under the code spans multiple jurisdictions and issuing-body types. Early County Board of Education in Georgia solicited line-by-line food bids including vegetables and fruits as part of a National School Lunch Program contract due June 8, 2026 via IFB; the State of Georgia posted a broader food-supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026; Collier County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an Invitation to Negotiate for park concession food services due March 6, 2025; and Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The code shows activity concentrated in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida) with school districts and county departments as primary buyers, though the geographic footprint is sparse and the recent opportunities do not isolate jarrahdale squash or other specialty varieties as line-item solicitations—most naming produce in aggregate or within broader food-supply scopes.
