UNSPSC 50596866: Dried Non GMO yautia

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yautia 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 50596866 Dried Non GMO yautia is a Commodity code that nominally identifies a single agricultural product; however, recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect procurement of dried yautia specifically. Instead, the code appears in broad food-service aggregation bids that span hundreds of line items across fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, and consumable kitchen products for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. State and local governments soliciting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and city purchasing departments (City of Bridgeport). The work typically requires vendors to meet Buy American or domestic-content thresholds, comply with nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, maintain HACCP plans, carry substantial commercial general and products liability insurance, and accept ordering through school nutrition management systems or state procurement portals.

Recent activity spans multiple states and regions. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items with bids due June 26, 2026. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) solicited grocery items for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services on June 30, 2026, spanning over 1,100 line items and subject to Buy American requirements and blind testing.

The code shows no recent activity concentrated in a single state; procurement activity is distributed across the Southeast and mid-Atlantic regions.
