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 with little relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope — specialty corn varieties — does not align with the solicitations tagged under it in the current market. The recent opportunities posted under this code focus exclusively on fresh produce, prepared foods, and school nutrition supplies for child nutrition programs, with no references to non-GMO corn, specialty corn varieties, or grain products matching the code name. This mismatch suggests either a data-management issue in the source system or a fundamental misalignment between the code assignment and actual procurement intent.

The tagged opportunities span Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida school districts and county school systems procuring fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and ancillary food service supplies for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Recent solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, ITB response with 300+ food items and 60 non-food supplies), Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP in San Antonio (response deadline May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program produce delivery contract (estimated annual budget $600,000), and multiple Georgia school district produce procurements (Douglas County School System RFP spanning 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million across two geographic areas). These opportunities emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP certification, USDA reimbursable product standards, and domestic sourcing preferences, but contain no specific references to non-GMO or specialty corn varieties. Without clear alignment between the code's stated scope and actual market activity, this code does not present a reliable basis for business development targeting state and local procurement opportunities.
