UNSPSC 50604701: Frozen Non GMO amarilla malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO amarilla malanga that has been frozen 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 50604701 Frozen Non GMO amarilla malanga, a Commodity code, does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity in the source. The code nominally identifies a single frozen produce item—amarilla malanga (a starchy tuber)—yet the source contains no solicitations requesting frozen amarilla malanga specifically. Instead, the recent opportunities reflect school districts and state agencies procuring broad fresh and frozen food categories for child nutrition and institutional food service, including fresh produce (apples, bananas, berries, leafy greens, root vegetables), eggs, dairy, grains, proteins, and miscellaneous grocery items. The issuing bodies are state departments of education, county and municipal school districts, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts. Recent solicitations come from school nutrition programs across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with the Douglas County School System in Georgia appearing as a repeat buyer issuing multiple food-service RFPs in early 2026.

The geographic spread shows concentrated recent activity in Georgia, with additional activity in Missouri and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for main-line food supply and distribution services across 32 schools serving approximately 25,500 students, with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 and sealed proposals due February 18, 2026; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for annual fresh produce supply to 60 school sites with sealed bids due April 23, 2026; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with sealed bid submissions due May 15, 2026; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services in Missouri's solicitation for over 900 line items of grocery items for the 2026-27 school year with electronic bids due April 29, 2026. The code's narrow commodity scope does not align with the broad, mixed-category procurement landscape evident in these opportunities, signaling minimal current market relevance for frozen amarilla malanga specifically under this classification.
