UNSPSC 50586739: Non GMO medley corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO medley 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 50586739 Non GMO medley corn is a Commodity-tier code representing specialty corn products for institutional food service. State and local governments procure non-GMO corn and corn-based ingredients as components of broader grocery and produce contracts serving school nutrition, state operations, and county food programs. The code captures a narrow product line within much larger food-service solicitations that bundle produce, grains, proteins, and prepared items under single awards or line-item splits.

School districts dominate recent solicitation activity, including Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Glynn County Board of Education, McAllen Independent School District, Austin Independent School District, and Douglas County School System through the GEC Buying Cooperative. State of Georgia agencies have also posted fresh produce and grocery-item solicitations. Recent opportunities emphasize USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance, HACCP certification, Buy American provisions, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and domestic sourcing preferences; several school districts explicitly exclude artificial additives and high-fructose corn syrup. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, and state-level procurements), Texas (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Missouri (Rockwood R-VI), and Florida (Hillsborough County). Representative recent opportunities include Early County Board of Education's IFB for food and non-food products with a June 8, 2026 response deadline covering 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and products without added sugars; the Douglas County School System RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts in two Georgia regions with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending and a March 4, 2026 response deadline; and Rockwood R-VI School District's procurement of over 900 grocery-item line items for the 2026-27 school year with April 29, 2026 bids due. Non-GMO corn appears as a line item or specification within these larger solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity; vendors typically compete on firm, fixed pricing with USDA index-based or market-report price comparisons, comply with extensive federal and state certifications, and accept payment 30–90 days from delivery.
