UNSPSC 50586719: Non GMO double delight corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO double delight 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 50586719 Non GMO double delight corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying fresh produce items, particularly corn varieties and other fresh vegetables and fruits, to support school nutrition programs, institutional food service operations, and child nutrition initiatives. Recent solicitations show school districts as the dominant issuing bodies, with procurement spanning elementary through high school campuses, occasionally supplemented by state purchasing for institutional operations. The work being solicited includes line-item bidding for fresh produce delivery to multiple school sites, typically with weekly or twice-weekly delivery windows during school year operations, compliance with USDA nutrition standards and Buy American provisions, HACCP certification requirements, and food safety documentation including traceability and recall procedures. Vendors must maintain refrigerated delivery equipment, meet minimum shelf-life requirements (typically five to fourteen days), and often price competitively against USDA market indices or agricultural pricing reports.
