UNSPSC 50594701: Dried Non GMO amarilla malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO amarilla malanga that has been dried for preservation. 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 50594701 Dried Non GMO amarilla malanga is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific dried vegetable product, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly aligned with this narrow specification. The code appears in school district and public-body food service procurements, but as one line item within much broader grocery and fresh-produce categories rather than as a standalone purchase category. State and local governments buying under this code typically do so as part of National School Lunch Program compliance and child nutrition initiatives, where dried vegetables are incorporated into meal planning and food service supply chains. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). However, the code shows minimal specificity in actual procurement activity—dried amarilla malanga does not appear by name in any of the recent opportunities reviewed.

Recent opportunities suggest that dried and specialty vegetables of this type are procured as components of larger food-supply contracts rather than as discrete commodity purchases. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including vegetables and specialty produce for the Bridgeport Board of Education, with Buy American compliance requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content. Hancock County Board of Education posted an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce spanning 200+ line items across July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with responses due June 26, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million and responses due July 13, 2026. Activity is concentrated in school nutrition and institutional food service across Georgia, Texas, Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut, but the code itself shows limited recent standalone procurement volume or market signal for dried amarilla malanga as a named specification.
