UNSPSC 50586745: Non GMO pegasus corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pegasus 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 50586745 Non GMO pegasus corn, a Commodity code, nominally describes a specific corn variety, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect broader food-service procurement activity — including concession-stand food and beverage operations, fresh produce delivery, institutional food supplies for state and school operations, and line-item food-service bids for national school lunch programs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments (Collier County), school districts (Early County Board of Education), regional health-care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition), and state procurement offices (State of Georgia). The scope of work spans food-service vendor contracts requiring compliance with food-safety regulations, health permits, and in school settings, adherence to USDA nutrition and sourcing standards; the school-district opportunities emphasize whole-grain products, low-sodium formulations, domestic sourcing preferences, and products without added sugars or artificial additives.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast, with posted opportunities from Florida (Collier County, Marion Health Care Coalition) and Georgia (State of Georgia, Early County Board of Education) between May and October 2026. Representative recent solicitations include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for food services at North Collier Regional Park (posted October 8, 2026, due March 6, 2025), which requires concession-stand food and beverage operations across multiple park facilities with a 10-point local-vendor preference; Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (posted May 11, 2026, due June 8, 2026) covering 300+ food items and non-food supplies for school lunch and breakfast programs with firm pricing for 15 days and six-month price-escalation review tied to USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or Consumer Price Index data; and the State of Georgia's food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (posted May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). The code shows limited recent activity and does not align cleanly with the nominal "Non GMO pegasus corn" commodity description — the opportunities are general food-service procurement rather than specific corn-variety sourcing.
