UNSPSC 50606865: Frozen Non GMO yampi

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yampi 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 50606865 Frozen Non GMO Yampi is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned directly to its nominal scope. The code name specifies a particular frozen vegetable product, yet the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations requesting yampi specifically. Instead, the handful of recent postings covering this code span broad food-service categories — fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, general grocery items, dairy products, eggs, and comprehensive food-supply distribution across school nutrition programs and state operations. These solicitations indicate that state and local buyers tagging this code are actually purchasing diverse frozen and fresh food items for institutional meals rather than yampi as a standalone commodity.

State, county, and independent school district procurement offices dominate the issuing-body mix. The Georgia Department of Education and school systems (Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education) account for the majority of recent postings; the Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas represent additional active school districts. Geographic concentration is strongest in Georgia, with secondary activity in Missouri and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026), seeking a distributor to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000; the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's Bid 26-34 for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026), encompassing 72 produce items with estimated quantities ranging up to 21,125 cases annually for staples such as Fuji apples; and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services' grocery items procurement (due April 29, 2026), soliciting bids on over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, meats, and prepared entrees for the 2026–2027 school year. The code shows no activity suggesting yampi-specific demand and should be monitored for clarification of actual commodity focus.
