UNSPSC 50595606: Dried Non GMO yellow potatoes

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO yellow 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 50595606 Dried Non GMO yellow potatoes is a Commodity code describing dehydrated or processed yellow potatoes procured by state and local school districts, county health and human services agencies, and municipal food service programs. State and local governments buy dried yellow potatoes as components of institutional meal programs — including National School Lunch Program breakfasts and lunches, senior meal services, and food service supply contracts that span multiple commodity categories. The work is solicited by school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). School districts and state agencies are the primary issuing bodies; these entities typically aggregate dried potatoes into broader grocery or food-supply RFPs or IFBs rather than soliciting potatoes as standalone line items.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Connecticut, and Texas. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases posted IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items (including vegetables and processed foods) due June 30, 2026, with firm pricing, Net 45 payment terms, delivery to a central warehouse and school sites, and compliance with Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center due July 13, 2026 at an estimated historical value of $1.5 million, with firm fixed unit pricing and CPI-based adjustments permitted at the agency's discretion. Hancock County Board of Education posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (over 200 line items including potatoes and root vegetables) due June 26, 2026, with firm pricing and Buy American content thresholds. The source does not indicate whether dried yellow potatoes are currently solicited as a named line item under any of these opportunities; the code appears in the taxonomy but receives limited explicit representation in recent state and local postings.
