UNSPSC 50604706: Frozen Non GMO lila malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO lila 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 50604706 Frozen Non GMO Lila Malanga, a Commodity code, represents frozen specialty vegetables procured by state and local food service operations — primarily school districts and county agencies supporting meal programs and senior services. State and local governments use this code to source specific produce items for bulk food service delivery, though recent procurement activity shows the code tagged to broader food procurement RFQs and RFPs that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items spanning proteins, grains, produce, and dairy rather than frozen malanga exclusively. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners and school districts; the activity shown reflects food service procurement for senior nutrition programs and school lunch / breakfast programs under National School Lunch Program auspices.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, with Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issuing an RFQ (PE77023NONST2027000000782) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, and the State of Georgia posting an IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009) for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date. Early County Board of Education issued an IFB (PE55045NONST2027000000006) on May 11, 2026 for 300+ food items and 60 non-food products supporting school meal programs, with bids due June 8, 2026 and a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term. The code shows limited activity specifically tied to frozen malanga; sourcing opportunities under this UNSPSC are embedded in larger multipurpose food RFPs where malanga may appear as one line item among hundreds rather than the primary procurement driver.
