UNSPSC 50586748: Non GMO precocious corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO precocious 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 50586748 Non GMO precocious corn is a Commodity code that does not align with state and local procurement activity in the provided source. The recent solicitations tagged under or near this code overwhelmingly purchase fresh produce—apples, bananas, peppers, broccoli, carrots, leafy greens, citrus, berries, and eggs—for school nutrition programs, with no evidence of procurement for precocious (early-maturing) corn or non-GMO seed stock. School districts, county boards of education, and independent school systems issue the bulk of these solicitations as RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs with annual contract periods running July 1 through June 30. Georgia appears as the dominant source of recent activity, with ten of sixteen opportunities posted from Georgia school districts and county systems (Bulloch County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Glynn County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County cooperative, and others), alongside solicitations from Texas (Northside ISD in San Antonio, McAllen ISD, Austin ISD), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI).

Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education RFP (posted May 11, 2026; due June 8, 2026) soliciting line-by-line bids for approximately 300 food items across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments with delivery requirements and USDA whole-grain specifications; the Northside Independent School District RFP 2026-048 (posted April 14, 2026; due May 7, 2026) for fresh produce delivery across 127 schools five days per week with USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown preference; the Bulloch County School District IFP (posted April 3, 2026; due May 4, 2026) for 24 locally-grown produce items within 200 miles to support its Farm to School program; and the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026; due March 4, 2026) covering 72 produce line items and eggs for 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One. The code itself shows no procurement demand for corn seed or non-GMO commodity inputs; vendors should assess whether this code assignment is a taxonomy error and pursue the school nutrition produce contracts under broader produce or food-service family codes instead.
