UNSPSC 50614701: Canned or jarred Non GMO amarilla malanga

The variety of Non GMO malanga known as Non GMO amarilla malanga that has been canned or jarred 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 50614701 Canned or jarred Non GMO amarilla malanga, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned or jarred vegetables procured by state and local governments, though recent solicitations under this code focus broadly on shelf-stable food products rather than this specific variety. State and local buyers use this code to source consumable foods for institutional food service—cafeterias, dining facilities, and canteens operated by health and human services agencies, correctional departments, school nutrition programs, and senior services. The issuing bodies span state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, and independent school districts. Solicitations typically bundle canned or jarred goods with fresh, frozen, and dry foods in comprehensive line-item procurements. Vendors respond to IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs) with firm, fixed unit pricing on FOB Destination terms, including freight and delivery. Bidders must meet USDA grade standards, provide samples and nutritional documentation on request, maintain liability insurance, comply with E-Verify and debarment certifications, and deliver within 72 hours to seven days of order receipt.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), covering 210 line items with a prior historical value of $1.5 million annually, and IFB HHS0018082 for Lufkin State Supported Living Center (due October 23, 2026), a smaller procurement of 22 line items. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice solicited 382 line items of cafeteria food products via IFB 304T-26-300CF (extended to May 4, 2026). In Georgia, Gwinnett County requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable foods including canned proteins, vegetables, and sauces (due October 19, 2026), and Burke County Public Schools sought sealed bids for nearly 400 food line items (due June 5, 2026). Ben Hill County Schools School Nutrition Program issued IFB #26271 (due June 15, 2026) spanning multiple food categories with Buy American Act compliance required. Oregon Department of Corrections procured 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B or better (due June 19, 2026 at $13.75 per case from prior February award). Illinois and the State of Georgia also posted food procurements in the first half of 2026. The code sees limited direct targeting; canned or jarred amarilla malanga appears rarely in named line items, though the broader category of canned vegetables and shelf-stable foods moves consistently through state and local procurement cycles.
