UNSPSC 50586703: Non GMO ambrosia corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO aloha 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 50586703 Non GMO ambrosia corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy fresh produce for school nutrition programs and institutional food service under this code, though recent solicitation activity shows no specific demand for non-GMO ambrosia corn. Recent opportunities reflect broad produce procurement for child nutrition, including fresh fruit and vegetable programs, school lunch and breakfast service, and farm-to-school initiatives that emphasize local sourcing, produce variety, and compliance with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable standards and Buy American requirements.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida, with activity from state purchasing offices and county boards of education managing nutrition programs serving elementary through high school populations. Recent representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education (RFP, June 8, 2026 response deadline) seeking line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including produce to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa (RFP, March 11, 2026 deadline, estimated annual budget $600,000) procuring fresh specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program at 18 elementary schools; Northside Independent School District in San Antonio (RFP 2026-048, May 7, 2026 deadline) requesting fresh produce for all district campuses with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown preference through the Harvest of the Month program; Bulloch County School District in Georgia (IFP, May 4, 2026 deadline) seeking locally grown produce within 200 miles supporting a Farm to School program serving 11,200 students; and Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools (Bid 26-34, April 23, 2026 deadline) soliciting 72 fresh produce items for 60 school sites. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. Sourcing preferences emphasize domestic agricultural products, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, food safety traceability, and increasingly local or regional supply chains to reduce transportation and support rural producers.
