UNSPSC 50586755: Non GMO seneca starshine corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca starshine 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 50586755 Non GMO seneca starshine corn is a Commodity code that describes a single specialty corn variety, but the recent state and local procurement activity under this code does not reflect direct purchases of Non GMO Seneca Starshine corn specifically. Instead, the tagged opportunities show school districts and school systems soliciting broad fresh produce contracts—apples, bananas, carrots, broccoli, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens, berries, and eggs—as part of child nutrition and farm-to-school programs. The code's narrow commodity definition (a named corn variety) does not align with what state and local buyers are actually purchasing under the tag, which encompasses multi-item produce frameworks rather than a single corn line. No solicitations in the recent-opportunities block name Seneca Starshine corn or any specific corn variety by brand or cultivar.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school systems—Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, Florida), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Glynn County Board of Education (Georgia), McAllen Independent School District (Texas), Austin Independent School District (Texas), Douglas County School System (Georgia)—along with a state-level request from the State of Georgia for fresh produce. The geographic spread is concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida and Missouri (Rockwood R-VI School District). Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (RFP, due June 8, 2026) encompassing 300+ food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain options; Northside Independent School District's fresh-produce RFP (due May 7, 2026, issued May 2026) requiring USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown produce prioritization; and Douglas County School System's cooperative-purchasing RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million (due March 4, 2026). The code shows minimal recent activity aligned to its nominal commodity scope and warrants review for potential misclassification by state and local procurement offices.
