UNSPSC 50596305: Dried Non GMO georgia red sweet potatoes

The variety of Non GMO sweet potatoes known as Non GMO georgia red sweet 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 50596305 Dried Non-GMO Georgia Red Sweet Potatoes is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not see meaningful purchasing activity aligned with the code's specific product scope. The code nominally describes a narrow agricultural commodity—dried, non-GMO Georgia red sweet potatoes—yet the recent opportunities dataset shows no solicitations explicitly requesting that product line. Instead, state and local procurement under codes in this family focuses on broad grocery, fresh produce, and food-service supply contracts that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning vegetables, fruits, proteins, dairy, and prepared foods. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education (Bridgeport Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Douglas County School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Fairfax County Public Schools), along with state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), and municipal procurement offices (City of Dallas, City of Meriden).

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Connecticut, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida, with school nutrition programs driving the majority of volume. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid (BNB052266) for over 1,100 line items supporting the National School Lunch Program, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 2026) for food and consumable products at a state-supported living center with historical annual value of $1.5 million, Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce with over 200 line items (due June 26, 2026), and Douglas County School System's RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution across 32 schools with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 (due February 18, 2026). All of these solicitations employ competitive sealed bidding (IFB, RFP, ITB, or RFQ), require firm fixed pricing, mandate Buy American compliance, and enforce federal school nutrition and food safety standards. The code itself—dried non-GMO Georgia red sweet potatoes as a standalone line item—does not appear in any of the recent opportunities reviewed, suggesting either minimal state and local demand for this specific product in isolation or systematic vendor bundling of dried produce categories under broader grocery contracts where individual commodities are not separately tracked at the UNSPSC code level.
