UNSPSC 50586758: Non GMO silver queen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO silver queen 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 50586758 Non GMO silver queen corn (Commodity) sees minimal relevant recent activity. State and local school nutrition programs are actively procuring fresh produce—including corn varieties—but recent opportunities show no specific focus on non-GMO silver queen corn as a standalone line item. The code's narrow specification (non-GMO variety, silver queen cultivar) does not align with the broad, mixed-produce procurement patterns evident in recent school district and state solicitations, which typically specify produce generically or by seasonal availability rather than by genetic modification status or cultivar designation.

School districts across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri dominate recent solicitation volume, with purchases spanning fresh produce for child nutrition programs at scale. Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Northside Independent School District (Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), Bulloch County School District (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), 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), and Douglas County School System (Georgia)—purchasing through the GEC Buying Cooperative—have all posted RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices for produce spanning July 2026 through June 2027 contracts. State-level procurements in Georgia and Missouri also appear. Within these solicitations, vendors deliver weekly or bi-weekly to elementary through high school campuses, maintain HACCP certification and traceability systems, comply with Buy American provisions prioritizing domestic commodities, and price against USDA market indices. No solicitation identified in the recent block explicitly requires or incentivizes non-GMO status, and silver queen corn—if sourced at all—would be bundled within broader vegetable or produce line items priced competitively against commodity benchmarks rather than as a specialty or differentiating product.
