UNSPSC 50595601: Dried Non GMO long white potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO long white potatoes that have 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 50595601 Dried Non GMO long white potatoes (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recorded in recent solicitations. The opportunities in the dataset—school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply contracts—include potatoes as line items within comprehensive grocery, produce, and meal-delivery procurements, but no issuing body has solicited dried non-GMO long white potatoes as a discrete product category or stand-alone commodity. The recent opportunities span school districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Fairfax County, Virginia; Savannah-Chatham County, Georgia; Douglas County, Georgia; Bulloch County, Georgia; Pascagoula-Gautier, Mississippi; Hancock County, Georgia; Meriden, Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia), and county governments (Hillsborough County, Florida; Douglas County, Georgia), with fresh produce, processed foods, and meal services dominating the procurement landscape. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi, reflecting school-nutrition and senior-services demand.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. When potatoes appear in these solicitations, they are bundled within broad fresh-produce or grocery-supply contracts rather than procured separately by variety or processing specification. This pattern suggests that dried non-GMO long white potatoes, if purchased by state and local bodies at all, are acquired through larger commodity agreements or distributor supply chains rather than direct public procurement. Vendors pursuing this code should investigate whether state or local food service cooperatives, correctional facilities, or institutional kitchen operations maintain standing specifications for dried potato products, as such entities are more likely than the typical school or county nutrition program to source specialized potato varieties in bulk.
