UNSPSC 50586727: Non GMO how sweet it is corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO how sweet it is 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 50586727 Non GMO how sweet it is corn is a Commodity code that represents specialty produce items, particularly non-GMO corn variants, procured by state and local governments primarily through food-service and institutional-purchasing channels. Recent state and local opportunities show the code tagged to broader food and produce procurement rather than discrete corn sourcing, suggesting the code may reflect a granular product taxonomy that feeds into larger food-service contracts. The issuing bodies span county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, state procurement offices, and school districts, with school districts appearing as a major segment sourcing produce and food items through line-by-line bidding for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. Work under this code includes produce delivery and fresh-fruit-and-vegetable provisioning according to operational specifications, quality standards, delivery timelines, and volume requirements, often with emphasis on domestic sourcing, food-safety compliance (HACCP plans, product freshness guarantees), and adherence to USDA nutrition standards where applicable.

Recent activity spans multiple states and purchasing models. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) issued a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300 food items including vegetables and fruits for school meal programs with domestic-sourcing preference and whole-grain and low-sodium emphasis. Marion Health Care Coalition solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables delivery under the 2026-2027 contract period. Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) issued an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options including produce-based offerings across concession and water-park facilities, with a 10-point local-vendor preference for Collier or Lee County–based businesses. The State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026 with detailed scope in attached specifications.
