UNSPSC 50594706: Dried Non GMO lila malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO lila 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 50594706 Dried Non GMO lila malanga, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual procurement activity in recent state and local solicitations. The recent opportunities block contains no bids or contracts for dried lila malanga or other specialty dried produce items; instead, the tagged opportunities span school nutrition grocery contracts, senior meal preparation and delivery services, fresh produce supply, and comprehensive food service distribution serving K-12 districts, state-supported living centers, and county government meal programs. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the solicitations tagged under it suggests either a data classification error or that dried lila malanga represents a negligible line item within larger food-service commodity buys rather than a standalone procurement category driving its own solicitation activity.

No state or local procurement offices are currently soliciting dried Non GMO lila malanga as a distinct product or service. The recent opportunities in the source—including Bridgeport Public Schools' grocery items IFB (due June 30, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumables IFB for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), Hancock County Schools' fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (due June 25, 2026 at $17.8 million over three years), and multiple other school district and state agency food-service contracts—focus on broad commodity categories such as fresh produce, grocery staples, proteins, dairy, and prepared meals, not specialty dried items. Vendors targeting this code should verify the actual commodity classification before pursuing opportunities, as the current tag appears disconnected from active market demand.
