UNSPSC 50586725: Non GMO honey and cream corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO honey and cream 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 50586725 Non GMO honey and cream corn (Commodity) describes specialty food items, but state and local governments procuring under this code are actually buying fresh produce, eggs, and bulk grocery staples for school nutrition programs, not honey or corn products. Recent solicitations show K–12 districts across the Southeast and Texas purchasing fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs through RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs to supply school lunch and breakfast programs, child nutrition services, and federally funded fresh-fruit-and-vegetable initiatives. The code appears mismatched to actual purchasing activity; school districts and county education boards are the primary issuing bodies, with procurement spanning single districts (Early County Board of Education, McAllen ISD, Northside ISD in San Antonio) to cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multiple districts (Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative, which serves 30 Georgia districts). Districts emphasize domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, and often specify whole-grain and low-sodium formulations or produce grown within defined regional radii (Bulloch County seeks locally grown items within 200 miles; McAllen prefers produce within 50 miles or elsewhere in the United States where cost and quality match).

Recent opportunities cluster in Georgia, Texas, and Missouri. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education's RFP for food and non-food items (due June 8, 2026, covering 300+ food items and 60+ supply items for three schools), Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce across 127 campuses in the San Antonio area (RFP, due May 7, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools' fresh-fruit-and-vegetable program solicitation (cost-plus contract for 18 elementary schools, due March 11, 2026), Douglas County School System's RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (72 line items across 30 districts estimated at $4.4 million for Area One, due March 4, 2026), and the Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services procurement in St. Louis County, Missouri for over 900 grocery line items (due April 29, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, include firm pricing for 12 months with limited escalation allowances backed by USDA or CPI data, and require weekly or twice-weekly delivery during school hours. The code shows no relevant activity; the commodity-code mismatch suggests either misclassification in posting or data quality issues in the procurement system.
