UNSPSC 50604703: Frozen Non GMO coco malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO coco 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 50604703 Frozen Non GMO Coco Malanga is a Commodity code that nominally covers a single frozen tropical produce item, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show minimal direct procurement of coco malanga itself. Instead, the code appears in school nutrition and food service procurements where it is conflated with broader frozen and fresh produce categories. Actual buying under this code's tag encompasses fresh produce, frozen vegetables and fruits, eggs, dairy, grains, meats, and prepared entrees for school nutrition programs and state food operations. Issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state procurement agencies (State of Georgia). The mix reflects heavy concentration among school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, with occasional state department food procurement.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. Representative opportunities include the State of Georgia's May 2026 food supplies IFB (due June 22, 2026), Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for three schools emphasizing domestic sourcing and USDA compliance (due June 8, 2026), City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB for ten school sites with July 1, 2026 contract start (due May 15, 2026, virtual pre-bid April 29, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items solicitation for approximately 900 line items serving 6,900 lunch and 900 breakfast participants daily (electronic bids due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS), Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for a 30-district GEC Buying Cooperative with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million (Area One) and $1.1 million (Area Two, RFP due March 4, 2026), and Dallas Independent School District's various food products RFP for non-commodity items including spice and ice cream lots (due April 2, 2026). School districts consistently require firm pricing for full contract periods, HACCP plans, general liability insurance ($500,000 to $2 million), Buy American compliance, and E-Verify authorization; delivery windows typically run 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
