UNSPSC 50586708: Non GMO bodacious corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO avalanche 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 50586708 Non GMO bodacious corn (Commodity) does not align with the state and local procurement activity currently tagged under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this Commodity code cover fresh produce, eggs, and child nutrition program items across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri school districts and state agencies, but none specifically reference non-GMO corn or corn products as a distinct line item or primary procurement focus.

The issuing bodies are primarily school districts and boards of education—including Early County Schools, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa), Bulloch County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County), Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative—along with state purchasing offices in Georgia. The procurement notices are predominantly RFPs and IFBs issued between February and May 2026. Recent opportunities include the Early County Schools' FY27 Food Bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the State of Georgia's Invitation for Bid for Fresh Produce (IFB #4, due May 27, 2026); Northside Independent School District's fresh produce procurement (RFP 2026-048, due May 7, 2026) serving 127 schools across the San Antonio area; and Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program procurement (RFP 26039RFQDST, originally due March 11, 2026) for specialty fruits and vegetables delivered to 18 elementary schools. The activity concentrates in the Southeast (Georgia school districts predominate) and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. The mismatch between this Commodity code and the actual scope of procurements suggests either a data tagging error or a code reassignment that does not reflect current purchasing patterns under this classification.
