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 is a Commodity code covering fresh produce items, including specialty corn varieties, that state and local governments procure for food service operations. The recent opportunities show that state and local issuing bodies sourcing under this code include county parks and recreation departments, school districts operating National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The scope of work spans concession and food-service operations at regional parks, institutional food service for schools, and bulk produce supply for healthcare facilities. Vendors must meet food-safety regulations, deliver fresh products according to operational timelines and volume specifications, and comply with Buy American provisions where applicable. School district solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing, whole-grain and low-sodium options, products without added sugars or artificial additives, and line-by-line competitive bidding. Collier County's parks concession contract requires vendors to maintain high-quality food and beverage options across multiple venues during regular operations and peak tournament seasons, while Early County Schools' food bid specifies delivery windows of 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday with state compliance documentation for produce freshness and handling.
