UNSPSC 50586705: Non GMO aspen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO ambrosia 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 50586705 Non GMO aspen corn, a Commodity code, covers fresh and specialty produce items procured by state and local governments for food service operations. The recent solicitations reveal that state and local buyers under this code are acquiring diverse produce — including fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty grains, and related food-service commodities — for concession operations, healthcare facilities, school meal programs, and state-level food procurement. The issuing bodies span county park and recreation departments, school districts, state agencies, and specialized healthcare coalitions. Vendors typically must meet food-safety compliance standards, maintain temperature and freshness controls, and comply with Buy American or domestic-sourcing preferences where specified. Contracts often run one to three years with renewal options and require detailed cost proposals, proof of liability insurance, E-Verify enrollment, and adherence to USDA specifications or equivalent quality standards.

Recent activity shows procurement across multiple states and jurisdiction types. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate on October 8, 2026, for food concession services at North Collier Regional Park with proposals due March 6, 2025; the Marion Health Care Coalition (Oregon) sought produce vendor proposals with a due date of August 21, 2026; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026; and the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch Program on May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026, requiring approximately 300 food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. School districts and state agencies represent the largest recent volume, with contract terms typically July-to-June fiscal cycles and multi-year award structures permitting piggybacking by adjacent jurisdictions.
