UNSPSC 50586707: Non GMO biqueen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO biqueen 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 50586707 Non GMO biqueen corn is a Commodity code. State and local school districts, county boards of education, and independent school systems are procuring fresh produce—including corn and other commodity vegetables—through produce supply contracts that feed child nutrition programs across elementary, middle, and high school campuses. These solicitations span multiple school nutrition categories: bulk fresh produce staples for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; specialty items for USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) initiatives; farm-to-school initiatives emphasizing local and regionally grown products; and ancillary items such as eggs and prepared produce for ready-service lines. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet USDA compliance, maintain HACCP certification, carry general liability insurance (typically $1 million minimum), comply with Buy American provisions, and provide weekly or twice-weekly delivery to multiple school sites between early morning and midday windows. Price competitiveness, product quality and freshness, vendor experience (often three to five years minimum), and reliability of delivery are primary evaluation drivers across nearly all recent procurements.
