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 is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being procured under recent state and local solicitations. The code nominally describes a single agricultural product line, but the recent opportunities tagged to it span institutional food service procurement for school districts and state agencies—including fresh produce, eggs, dairy, beverages, and kitchen supplies for child nutrition programs and general operations. The mismatch between the code's narrow name and the broad purchasing activity suggests either miscoding of opportunities or a legacy taxonomy problem; vendors pursuing this code should verify exact product requirements in each RFP or IFB rather than relying on the code alone.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with multiple Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida districts soliciting produce and food service items on overlapping or annual cycles. The State of Georgia, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Austin Independent School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, Liberty County Board of Education, Bulloch County School District, Muscogee County School District, Glynn County Board of Education, Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (through the GEC Buying Cooperative) represent active buyers in the dataset. Most contracts are annual or multi-year with renewal options, and many emphasize domestic sourcing, HACCP compliance, Buy American provisions, and produce grown within specified distances (200 miles in Georgia, 50 miles in Texas). Recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education RFP for food vendors (due June 8, 2026), the Northside ISD RFP for fresh produce (due May 7, 2026, San Antonio), the Bulloch County School District IFP for local produce (due May 4, 2026, Georgia), and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System bid for fresh produce (due April 23, 2026, Savannah). Georgia school districts account for the highest concentration of recent activity, followed by Texas and Missouri. Contract values are often unspecified but Douglas County's GEC cooperative RFP estimates $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, and Hillsborough County's FFVP contract budgets $600,000 annually. Pricing is typically firm for contract term, with redetermination clauses tied to USDA market reports or CPI data, and vendors must provide full truckload delivery within tight morning windows (6:00–7:00 AM to 2:00–2:30 PM), HACCP certification, $1–2 million liability insurance, and compliance with federal E-Verify and debarment requirements.
