UNSPSC 50586744: Non GMO pearl white corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pearl white 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 50586744 Non GMO pearl white corn, a Commodity code, covers specialty corn products sourced by state and local food service operations including school districts, county parks departments, and healthcare coalitions. The code captures procurement of specialty agricultural commodities meeting particular production or processing specifications — in this case, non-GMO pearl white corn varieties — used in foodservice menus, institutional kitchens, and concession operations. State and local buyers under this code include county commissions managing parks and recreational facilities, independent school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, state procurement offices, and healthcare-related organizations. The work solicited is straightforward commodity supply: vendors bid on agricultural products meeting specified quality, variety, and delivery standards, with pricing often indexed to seasonal availability and market conditions.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida, Georgia, and at least one multistate healthcare coalition. Collier County Board of County Commissioners issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) posted October 8, 2026 for food services at North Collier Regional Park, due March 6, 2025, requiring diverse food and beverage options including produce and commodity ingredients; the procurement emphasizes local-vendor preference (10 evaluation points) for vendors with permanent business addresses in Collier or Lee County. Early County Board of Education in Georgia posted a line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 covering approximately 300+ food items including meats, poultry, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains with domestic-sourcing preferences and whole-grain specifications. Marion Health Care Coalition posted a produce proposals solicitation due August 21, 2026 for fresh fruits and vegetables. The State of Georgia issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Local-vendor preferences and Buy American provisions appear in school district bids; pricing escalation clauses indexed to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service data are standard.
