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. State and local governments buying under this code procure specialty agricultural products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs. The recent solicitations show no direct procurement activity for non-GMO lancelot corn specifically; instead, the opportunities tagged to this code describe broader fresh produce and food service procurement spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and grocery items for child nutrition and school meals. The code's nominal specificity—a single corn variety—does not align with the scope of actual recent solicitations, which treat produce as undifferentiated commodity categories within larger institutional food service contracts rather than as named varietal specifications.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri. Recent activity includes the Early County Board of Education (RFP for line-by-line food and non-food products, due June 8, 2026), Bulloch County School District (IFP for locally grown produce within 200 miles, due May 4, 2026), Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri (IFB for grocery items including produce, due April 29, 2026), Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida (RFP for fresh fruit and vegetable program, due March 11, 2026), Northside Independent School District in Texas (RFP for fresh produce for child nutrition, due May 7, 2026), Douglas County School System in Georgia (RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts, due March 4, 2026), and Austin Independent School District in Texas (RFP for fresh produce and beverages, due March 11, 2026). The concentration of solicitations reflects school meal programs' year-round demand for produce under child nutrition reimbursement requirements. The code shows limited relevance to actual procurement intent; business development in this family is better served tracking broader fresh produce and school nutrition categories rather than this narrowly specified commodity code.
