UNSPSC 50586735: Non GMO kandy korn corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO kandy korn 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 50586735 Non GMO kandy korn corn is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local contract opportunities solicited under this code show no activity aligned with the commodity's name—none of the posted solicitations request candy corn, popcorn, or corn products of any kind. The records instead reflect food service procurement across school districts and state agencies, dominated by fresh produce, milk, eggs, and broad grocery item categories for child nutrition programs.

The mismatch between the code designation and actual solicitation content indicates this code does not currently represent a meaningful procurement category in state and local government. The opportunities present—from the State of Georgia, Early County Schools, Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa, and multiple Georgia school districts—are buying fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and prepared foods for National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs under federal child nutrition statutes. No vendor is presently competing for kandy korn corn under this UNSPSC code in the state and local space.
