UNSPSC 50586736: Non GMO kiss ‘n tell corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO kiss 'n tell 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 50586736 Non GMO kiss 'n tell corn is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity tied to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code do not solicit corn—GMO status, varietal type, or otherwise. Instead, the state and local procurement records in the dataset reflect broad school nutrition and institutional food service contracting across fresh produce, dairy, eggs, beverages, and prepared foods, with no corn procurement appearing in any of the posted solicitations.

The mismatch between code and actual procurement suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or a code application that does not reflect the work actually being bought. School districts, county boards of education, and state agencies are actively soliciting fresh produce, eggs, fluid milk, and prepared grocery items for child nutrition programs across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida—but corn, whether GMO or non-GMO, does not appear as a line item in Early County Schools' food bid (response due June 8, 2026), Northside Independent School District's fresh produce RFP in San Antonio (due May 7, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items procurement in Missouri (due April 29, 2026), or the multi-district Georgia cooperative purchases (Douglas County School System RFP due March 4, 2026 for 30 districts). The code warrants review for potential realignment to the broader fresh produce and institutional food service categories where state and local procurement activity is concentrated.
