UNSPSC 50594705: Dried Non GMO islena malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO islena 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 50594705 Dried Non GMO islena malanga is a Commodity code that in principle names a specific dried vegetable product, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code do not reflect procurement of dried islena malanga itself. Instead, the tagged opportunities span broad food service contracting—school nutrition programs buying fresh and processed produce, school districts and counties procuring grocery items for lunch programs, a Texas state facility acquiring consumable food products, and a county government contracting senior meal preparation and delivery. The issuing bodies include school boards (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). The code shows little relevant recent activity specific to its nominal scope; the opportunities tagged to it represent general food service procurement across multiple categories and vendors rather than sourcing of a single dried commodity.

Recent opportunities posted between April and June 2026 span the Southeast and Texas. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce including over 200 line items of apples, berries, vegetables, and specialty fruits for the 2026–27 school year under the Buy American provision (51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content). The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Department of Public Purchases solicited grocery items on June 30, 2026, via RFQ for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services, covering over 1,100 line items with National School Lunch Program compliance, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and 48-hour emergency delivery capability. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB on June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026, for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical volume guideline of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County, Florida, posted an ITB on June 3, 2026, due June 25, 2026, for senior meal preparation and delivery services at an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90. Given the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual procurement activity, this code does not represent a focused market opportunity for dried islena malanga suppliers.
