UNSPSC 50586738: Non GMO maple sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO maple sweet 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 50586738 Non GMO maple sweet corn, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source records sixteen fresh produce solicitations posted between February 4 and May 15, 2026, spanning school nutrition programs, child nutrition services, and state food operations across Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida; none explicitly name non-GMO maple sweet corn or variety-specific commodity procurement at the product line.

The recent activity under codes near this family reflects procurement of broad fresh produce categories—apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, and eggs—bundled into comprehensive annual contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio; Early County Board of Education and Bulloch County School District in Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System; McAllen Independent School District in Texas; Austin Independent School District; Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa; Liberty County Board of Education; Glynn County Board of Education; Muscogee County School District) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Education operations). School nutrition programs dominate, with some state procurement for general institutional food operations. A regional cooperative (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts) also solicited produce on a consolidated basis. The mix reflects institutional food service standardization around dozen-plus produce staples rather than specialty or heirloom variety procurement. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (eight of sixteen solicitations), with secondary activity in Texas (four), Florida (one), and Missouri (one). Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education RFP (due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items across multiple categories with emphasis on whole-grain bread, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives; the Bulloch County School District IFP (due May 4, 2026) for locally grown produce within 200 miles including watermelons, apples, strawberries, and sweet potatoes; and the Douglas County School System RFP through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) covering 72 line items across two geographic regions with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million combined. None of these solicitations specifies non-GMO status or variety-level commodity differentiation as a procurement driver.
