UNSPSC 50596229: Dried Non GMO zucchini squash

The variety of Non GMO summer squashes and summer pumpkins known as Non GMO zucchini squash 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 50596229 Dried Non GMO zucchini squash is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh and processed produce for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The recent opportunities block shows little activity directly targeting dried zucchini squash as a line item; instead, the code appears to be tagged on broader grocery and produce solicitations where dried or processed vegetables may be included among hundreds of line items but are not the primary focus. The actual buying under related produce codes centers on fresh fruit and vegetable procurement for child nutrition programs, Buy American–compliant processed agricultural products, and institutional food service operations subject to USDA nutrition standards and HACCP compliance.

Recent state and local procurement activity spans school districts, county governments, and state health agencies across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative opportunities include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' June 2026 grocery items bid (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services across 1,100 line items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 food and consumable products procurement (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical contract value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 fresh produce bid (IFB #SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 produce line items; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' June 2026 senior meal preparation and delivery services solicitation (ITB-26-00289, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. The code shows no standalone recent opportunities for dried zucchini squash procurement and may carry limited relevance for firms focused on single-commodity produce sales to state and local buyers at scale.
