UNSPSC 50586700: Non GMO corn

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO corn. 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 50586700 Non GMO corn is a Class code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal commodity scope. The code's title suggests a focus on non-genetically-modified corn grain, yet the recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations for corn as a standalone input—whether for direct purchase, animal feed, processed corn products, or food-service use. Instead, the tagged opportunities are school district and state agency procurements for comprehensive fresh produce, dairy, and child nutrition supplies where corn (if present at all) is a minor line item within broader multi-category food baskets.

The recent activity spans primarily Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school districts and state education agencies issuing RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for annual food service supply contracts—Early County Board of Education (RFP 2026), Bulloch County School District (IFP 2026), Muscogee County School District (ITB 26-017), Liberty County Board of Education (IFB 2026-27), Glynn County Board of Education (IFB 27-02), Northside Independent School District San Antonio (RFP 2026-048), Austin Independent School District (RFP 26RFP034), McAllen Independent School District (RFP 2026-1029), Rockwood R-VI School District Missouri (bid for 2026-27), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (bid 26-34), Hillsborough County Public Schools Florida (RFP 2026), the State of Georgia (fresh produce IFB 2027-2026 and food supplies RFP), and the Douglas County School System cooperative (RFP SN 26-004 for 30 districts). These procurements are structured as multi-vendor, line-item-based awards with firm pricing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and delivery schedules tied to school calendars. The code appears misaligned with the actual work—there is no identifiable recent state or local procurement activity focused on non-GMO corn as a discrete commodity or service line.
