UNSPSC 50586710: Non GMO calico belle corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO calico belle 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 50586710 Non GMO calico belle corn is a Commodity code covering specialty produce items—in this case, a specific corn variety—procured by state and local governments primarily for food service operations. Recent opportunities show the code maps to institutional food-service procurement across parks, healthcare systems, state agencies, and school districts, where produce vendors supply fresh fruits and vegetables according to operational specifications, delivery schedules, and quality standards. The issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school district boards of education. Early County Board of Education's recent solicitation illustrates the scope: the district bid line-by-line food products including vegetables and fruits meeting USDA whole-grain and domestic-sourcing preferences, low-sodium formulations, and no added sugars or artificial additives, with deliveries Monday through Friday to designated school locations and firm pricing for 15 days from award.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia and Florida. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026, covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, seeking diverse food and beverage options across multiple venues with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce-vendors proposal solicitation due August 21, 2026, seeking fresh fruits and vegetables for the 2026-2027 contract period. School districts and county parks departments appear to be the most active repeat buyers under this code, with contract terms typically running one to three years and evaluation criteria often emphasizing vendor qualifications, food safety compliance, and local or certified minority/women business enterprise status.
