UNSPSC 50586746: Non GMO phenomenal corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO phenomenal 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 50586746 Non GMO phenomenal corn, a Commodity code, reflects state and local procurement of fresh produce and food commodities for institutional food service operations, including parks and recreation concessions, school meal programs, and healthcare facilities. The solicitations under this code span concession operations at regional parks, school lunch and breakfast programs across multiple schools, produce procurement for healthcare coalitions, and statewide food commodity sourcing. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions, independent school districts, state education or procurement offices, and healthcare networks. The work involves sourcing fresh fruits, vegetables, and finished food products that meet food-safety compliance, USDA nutrition standards (including whole-grain and low-sodium specifications), delivery timelines, and seasonal availability constraints, with vendors responsible for transportation, temperature control, stock rotation, and documentation of product freshness and domestic sourcing where required.
