UNSPSC 50594703: Dried Non GMO coco malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO coco 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 50594703 Dried Non GMO coco malanga is a Commodity code that nominally names a single food product — dried non-GMO coco malanga — but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with that narrow scope. The opportunities instead reflect broad school nutrition and institutional food service procurement spanning grocery items, fresh produce, prepared meals, and miscellaneous food and consumable supplies. State and local governments procuring under this code are predominantly school districts and county education boards, supplemented by county human services commissions and municipal departments purchasing for centralized school food programs and senior meal services. The work involves competitive sealed bidding for multi-line-item food contracts, often subject to National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American provisions (51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, HACCP plans, and compliance with state and federal food safety regulations.

Recent opportunities span multiple states and issuing bodies. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items with a June 30, 2026 response date; Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce under IFB with a June 26, 2026 deadline; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 due July 11, 2026; Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) requested senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 under ITB-26-00289 due June 25, 2026; the State of Georgia issued a broad food and kitchen products RFQ due June 22, 2026; and Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicited Child Nutrition Summer Food Service packaged meal boxes due April 29, 2026. The code shows recent activity across Connecticut, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi, with school district nutrition programs and state-level institutional food service as primary demand drivers.
