UNSPSC 50586737: Non GMO lancelot corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO lancelot 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 50586737 Non GMO lancelot corn is a Commodity code capturing a narrow agricultural product category that state and local governments buy primarily through food-service and school nutrition programs. Recent solicitations show state and local procurement offices acquiring this commodity as part of broader food-supply buys — not as standalone corn purchases, but embedded in larger produce, fresh-vegetable, and school-lunch contracts where menu diversity and nutritional specifications drive sourcing decisions. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span county recreation departments, school districts, state agencies, and health-care coalitions, each integrating commodity procurement into multi-item food-service operations.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southeast. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and grains across three schools participating in the National School Lunch Program; the State of Georgia issued a broader food-supplies bid due June 22, 2026 with full scope in an attached document. Marion Health Care Coalition (MHCC) solicited produce proposals due August 21, 2026 for the 2026-2027 contract period, and Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division posted an Invitation to Negotiate for food services at North Collier Regional Park due March 6, 2025. School districts and state nutritional programs remain the primary demand driver; the commodity appears as a line item within larger catering or cafeteria contracts rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle, limiting standalone pursuit opportunities under this code.
