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 represents a narrow product line within agricultural and food procurement, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct alignment with the code's stated scope. The recent solicitations include food-services concessions at county parks, general produce procurement, broad food and kitchen-product supplies, and school-lunch program provisions spanning hundreds of food items — none of which specifically reference non-GMO precocious corn as a line item. When state and local agencies do procure commodity crops or agricultural inputs, they typically issue line-item bids or RFQs to food distributors, produce vendors, and school-lunch suppliers, with evaluation based on price, delivery compliance, food-safety certification, and domestic-sourcing preferences.

The issuing bodies active under this code include county parks and recreation departments, health-care coalitions, state procurement offices, and school district food-service programs. Recent opportunities posted between May and October 2026 span Georgia (state procurement), Marion County (health-care coalition), Collier County, Florida (parks ITN), and Early County, Georgia (school board IFB), but none of the posted solicitation summaries identify non-GMO precocious corn as a specified product. The Early County Board of Education FY27 Food Bid (due June 8, 2026) represents the most granular recent opportunity, with line-item specifications across meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains delivered to three schools under National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program guidelines, but this breadth does not isolate the narrow commodity this code represents. The code shows little relevant recent activity — state and local governments may source non-GMO specialty corn through broader agricultural or food-distributor contracts, but current posted opportunities do not name the product explicitly.
