UNSPSC 50586747: Non GMO platinum lady corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO platinum lady 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 50586747 Non GMO platinum lady corn is a Commodity code that covers specialty corn products for institutional food service, though recent state and local opportunities show the code seeing minimal direct solicitation activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code do not align narrowly with the "Non GMO platinum lady corn" product specification — instead, they reflect a broader institutional food and produce procurement landscape. Issuing bodies soliciting food and produce under related codes include county governments (Collier County Board of County Commissioners), school districts (Early County Board of Education), state departments (State of Georgia), and special-purpose health care coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). These entities procure across diverse food categories including fresh produce, dairy, proteins, grains, and prepared food service. School districts and state procurement offices appear as repeat buyers, typically seeking line-by-line bids or proposals covering 300+ food items annually to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations.

Recent opportunities posted include Early County Board of Education's FY27 Food Bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items and 60 non-food supplies across three schools with a July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 contract term; the State of Georgia's general food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (IFB, due June 22, 2026); Marion Health Care Coalition's produce proposals (RFP, due August 21, 2026) for 2026–2027 produce provision; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' North Collier Regional Park Food Services (ITN, due March 6, 2025) for concession and food vendor operations across multiple park venues with a three-year term plus two one-year renewal options. Recent activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Marion County) and Georgia (Early County Schools, State of Georgia). The code shows limited recent procurement volume under the specific "Non GMO platinum lady corn" specification; opportunities more broadly tagged to food and produce families suggest that specialty corn procurement, when it occurs, is often embedded within larger food service line-item bids rather than solicited as a standalone commodity.
