UNSPSC 50586713: Non GMO champ corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO champ 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 50586713 Non GMO champ corn is a Commodity code that shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The source records name this code but tag solicitations for broad fresh produce, eggs, beverages, and grocery items that span multiple commodity lines, not corn specifically. School districts and county education boards in Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri have posted opportunities for child nutrition food service covering dozens of produce line items—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, citrus, potatoes, and prepared items—alongside dairy, grains, and proteins. The code's nominal scope (non-GMO corn) does not align with the heterogeneous produce-procurement work actually being solicited under it in the records provided.

School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, with school districts (Early County Schools, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen ISD in Texas, Austin ISD, Douglas County School System in Georgia) and state purchasing offices (Georgia Department of Education) posting RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs for annual child nutrition contracts. Recent opportunities span April through June 2026 response windows—including Bulloch County Schools' IFP for locally-grown produce (due May 4, 2026), Hillsborough County's fresh-fruit-and-vegetable-program RFP for elementary schools (due March 11, 2026), and Douglas County Schools' RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts (due March 4, 2026) with estimated spend of $5.5 million. Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri. The frequent inclusion of Buy American provisions, HACCP certification requirements, temperature-controlled delivery windows (typically 6:00–14:00 Monday–Friday), USDA pricing-index benchmarking, and multi-year renewal options reflects the standardized federal and state compliance framework for school food service contracting. The code shows no evidence of single-commodity (corn-specific) procurement; vendors are evaluated on broad produce-line performance, pricing on index-relative markups, and product-quality and delivery-reliability metrics across mixed product catalogs.
