UNSPSC 50586866: Non GMO yampi

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yampi. 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 50586866 Non GMO yampi (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The 18 solicitations in the most-recent-opportunities block all solicit fresh produce, prepared foods, eggs, and grocery staples for school nutrition programs and state food service operations — none specifically reference yam, yampi, or non-GMO designation as a purchasing requirement. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO yam products) is too narrow and specialized to capture the institutional food-service buying activity actually tagged to it in the source data.

State and local procurement offices across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida have posted produce and food-service solicitations under this code between February and May 2026, with issuing bodies including school districts (Northside ISD San Antonio, Austin ISD, Early County Schools, Bulloch County Schools, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Schools, Douglas County Schools via cooperative, McAllen ISD), school nutrition programs (Glynn County, Liberty County, Rockwood R-VI), state departments (State of Georgia), and county systems (Hillsborough County). The actual procurements span commodity food contracts for 900+ line items (Rockwood R-VI), fresh-produce agreements for 60–72 produce items delivered weekly to multiple school sites (Glynn County, Liberty County, Savannah-Chatham), specialized USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program contracts (Hillsborough County at $600,000 estimated annual budget), and farm-to-school initiatives emphasizing locally grown produce within 200 miles (Bulloch County). Common requirements across these solicitations include HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, USDA compliance, firm pricing or indexed pricing tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Urner Barry reports, weekly or twice-weekly delivery to school sites during specified windows (typically 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.), and contract terms running July 1 through June 30 with renewal options. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity (non-GMO yampi) and the scope of solicitations (broad institutional fresh-produce supply) suggests either a data-entry error in code assignment or abandonment of this code for produce procurement in favor of higher-level family or class codes that better capture institutional food-service buying.
