UNSPSC 50586722: Non GMO early xtra sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO early xtra sweet 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 50586722 Non GMO early xtra sweet corn is a Commodity code covering fresh produce — specifically non-GMO early-season sweet corn — that state and local governments purchase for food service operations. Recent solicitations under this code reflect broader produce-procurement activity across school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state procurement offices. The work being solicited ranges from single-commodity produce supply (corn, along with other fresh fruits and vegetables) to comprehensive food-service provisioning that includes produce as one component of multi-category food and non-food product lines. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program illustrates the scope: the district specified whole-grain breads, low-sodium formulations, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and domestic sourcing preferences, with produce items (vegetables, fruits) embedded within approximately 300+ food-product line items. Collier County's March 2026 Invitation to Negotiate for food-concession services at North Collier Regional Park and Sun N Fun Water Park similarly required vendors to provide diverse, high-quality food and beverage options, including fresh produce, while meeting health and food-safety regulations and maintaining competitive pricing.

Recent activity spans Georgia, Florida, and Marion County (state and jurisdiction unspecified in the Marion Health Care Coalition posting). Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB for the 2026–2027 school year with bids due June 8, 2026, requiring line-by-line pricing for 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits, with domestic-sourcing preferences and USDA compliance. Collier County (Florida) issued an ITN for food services due March 6, 2025 (note: the posting date of October 8, 2026 post-dates the due date, suggesting a closed or amended solicitation). Marion Health Care Coalition sought produce proposals due August 21, 2026. The State of Georgia issued a June 22, 2026 bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products. School districts and county parks departments are the most active issuing bodies; healthcare coalitions and state procurement offices also solicit produce under this and related food-procurement codes. Vendors should note that school-district solicitations emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, food-recall procedures, E-Verify enrollment, and General Liability insurance ($500,000 minimum). Parks concessionaires must demonstrate food-safety certification, comply with health regulations, and often operate under local-vendor preferences (Collier County offered 10 evaluation points for vendors with permanent business addresses and employees in Collier or Lee County).
