UNSPSC 50586867: Non GMO yautia

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yautia. 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 50586867 Non GMO yautia is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single agricultural product (yautia root), but the recent opportunities posted under or near this classification span broad fresh produce procurement for school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and institutional food service across multiple states—covering apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, eggs, and dozens of other commodity items rather than yautia specifically. State and local procurement offices are not currently soliciting yautia under this code.

Recent activity centers on school district food-service contracts issued by Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida education agencies. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted an RFQ for line-by-line food bids closing June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food products. Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) issued RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce closing May 7, 2026. Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida) solicited produce for its USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program by March 11, 2026. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) posted RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts, with proposals due March 4, 2026 and estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas. Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), and Austin Independent School District (Texas) all issued overlapping produce procurement notices between February and May 2026. The code shows little decision-relevant recent activity aligned with yautia procurement and should not be pursued based on current market signals.
