UNSPSC 50586709: Non GMO butter and sugar corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO butter and sugar 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 50586709 Non GMO butter and sugar corn is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce and commodity food items purchased by state and local governments for institutional food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations show demand for bulk produce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and specialty food items meeting nutritional standards and food-safety compliance for parks concessions, healthcare facilities, schools, and state agencies. The code spans both fresh-commodity procurement and processed food products used in cafeteria operations, with an emphasis on quality, delivery reliability, volume consistency, and regulatory compliance including HACCP plans and domestic sourcing preferences where applicable.

State purchasing activity under this code includes school districts (Early County Board of Education), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), county parks departments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), and healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). Recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line bid for approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026; the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products IFB posted May 15, 2026 with bids due June 22, 2026; Marion Health Care Coalition's produce vendor proposals due August 21, 2026; and Collier County's Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park concessions, with proposals due March 6, 2025, applying a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County business addresses. Early County emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain compliance with USDA 2024 specifications, low-sodium options, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with delivery Monday through Friday and firm pricing for 15 days from award. Activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida, with procurement cycles clustering in late spring through early summer.
