UNSPSC 50586750: Non GMO quickie corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO quickie 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 50586750 Non GMO quickie corn is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity posted under it. The three substantive opportunities in the source — food services at a county regional park, produce provision for a health care coalition, and food and supplies for school districts and a state agency — involve broad food procurement across multiple product categories (meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fruits, vegetables, grains, bread, milk, and kitchen supplies) rather than non-GMO corn as a specific commodity. The code's narrow product scope does not align with what state and local buyers are actually soliciting under this code tag.

The recent opportunities span Collier County, Florida (parks concessions via ITN), Marion Health Care Coalition (produce), the State of Georgia (food and kitchen products via IFB), and Early County Board of Education, Georgia (school meal programs via line-item bid), but none of the posted summaries detail non-GMO corn as a line item or focus area. Without recent opportunities that materially address non-GMO corn procurement by state and local bodies, this code shows little activity relevant to vendors specializing in that commodity.
