UNSPSC 50586721: Non GMO earlivee corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO earlivee 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 50586721 Non GMO earlivee corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure fresh produce under this code primarily through school nutrition programs serving child nutrition requirements, but recent solicitations show no activity specific to non-GMO early corn—the opportunities listed target broader fresh-produce categories spanning apples, bananas, berries, vegetables, eggs, and specialty items for school cafeterias and child nutrition initiatives. The code's abstract name does not reflect the operational scope of current purchasing, which emphasizes multi-item produce procurement for institutional meal service rather than single-commodity sourcing.

School districts and school system cooperatives dominate the issuing-body mix, including Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia), and Bulloch County School District (Georgia). State-level produce procurement appears in Georgia Department of State Purchasing and two Georgia state agency IFBs posted in April and May 2026. Recent opportunities span Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Missouri, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts. Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items with domestic sourcing preferences and whole-grain specifications; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP 2026-048 (due May 7, 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable-compliant items delivered five days weekly; and Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) spanning 72 produce line items across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30, include automatic renewal options for additional years, require HACCP certification and Buy American compliance, and are awarded to lowest responsive bidders on a line-item basis, often permitting multiple vendors per district.
