UNSPSC 50586834: Non GMO jicama

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO jicama. 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 50586834 Non GMO jicama is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce items, primarily through food service contracts serving schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and other public institutions. The code captures individual fresh-produce line items solicited as part of broader food-procurement efforts rather than standalone jicama purchases. Recent opportunities show this code functioning within larger food-service scopes that include produce aggregation — vegetables and fruits bundled alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Early County Board of Education), county parks and recreation departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). The work involves vendor qualification, food-safety compliance, delivery scheduling, freshness guarantees, and adherence to domestic-sourcing and nutritional preferences where applicable.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Florida. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an IFB on May 11, 2026 for line-by-line bids covering 300-plus food items including vegetables and fruits with bids due June 8, 2026, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program across three schools. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an ITN on October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park with a response deadline of March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options compliant with health and food-safety regulations and a 10-point local-vendor preference. Marion Health Care Coalition (location not specified in summary) solicited produce-vendor proposals on August 7, 2026 with responses due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia posted an IFB on May 15, 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with bids due June 22, 2026.
