UNSPSC 50586717: Non GMO diamonds and gold corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO diamonds and gold 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 50586717 Non GMO diamonds and gold corn is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, does not reflect a meaningful procurement category. The recent opportunities tagged under this code span food services concessions, fresh produce delivery, general food supplies, and school lunch program provisioning—none of which align with the code's nominal scope of specialty corn varieties. State and local governments are issuing ITNs, RFQs, and IFBs for conventional food-service operations: Collier County is seeking a food vendor for regional park concessions and water park operations; Marion Health Care Coalition is requesting fresh produce proposals; the State of Georgia is bidding general food and kitchen supplies; and Early County Board of Education is conducting line-by-line food bids for the National School Lunch Program across three schools. The issuing bodies span county governments, health care coalitions, state departments, and independent school districts.

Recent activity appears across Georgia, Florida (Collier and Marion counties), and multi-state scope. The Early County Board of Education solicitation (IFB, due June 8, 2026) represents the most detailed recent opportunity, specifying 300+ food items including meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and domestic-sourcing preferences with whole-grain and low-sodium emphasis, alongside fluid milk and bread products meeting USDA specifications for a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract period. Collier County's North Collier Regional Park food-services ITN (due March 6, 2025) seeks a qualified vendor to operate concessions across multiple venues with a 10-point local-vendor preference. The code itself shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the actual work being procured; pursuing opportunities under this code would require confirming that the issuing body's tagging is intentional rather than a classification error.
