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, a Class code, describes fresh produce — particularly corn and other vegetables — that state and local governments procure for food service operations across parks, schools, health-care facilities, and institutional dining. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show a much broader scope than the code name alone suggests: school districts are bidding fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and meat products for national lunch and breakfast programs; county park systems are soliciting food-service vendors to operate concessions at recreational facilities; health-care coalitions are requesting produce delivery; and state procurement offices are bundling food, supplies, and kitchen products in consolidated requests. The issuing bodies range across county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, state agencies, and regional health-care coalitions, with school districts appearing as repeat buyers seeking multi-item produce and food-service supplies under line-by-line or consolidated bids.

Recent opportunities span at least three states: Georgia (a state-level food and kitchen-products request posted May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026), Florida (Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting food services at North Collier Regional Park via ITN posted October 8, 2026 with proposals due March 6, 2025), and the Marion Health Care Coalition produce request (posted August 7, 2026 with proposals due August 21, 2026). The most detailed recent opportunity is Early County Board of Education in Georgia, which issued a line-by-line bid posted May 11, 2026 due June 8, 2026 for approximately 300 food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains to support the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with domestic-sourcing preferences, whole-grain specifications, and low-sodium formulations emphasized. Pricing must include packing and transportation to three designated schools with no separate fuel surcharges; contracts run July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend and renewal terms available.
