UNSPSC 50586764: Non GMO sugar snow corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sugar snow 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 50586764 Non GMO sugar snow corn, a Commodity code, describes specialty fresh produce items that state and local school nutrition programs procure for student meals and snack programs. The recent opportunities in this code emphasize fresh, high-quality produce delivered directly to school sites, often with preference for domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, and natural formulations without artificial additives—requirements that extend beyond the nominal code name to encompass a broad range of fruits, vegetables, and eggs supporting child nutrition. School districts dominate the issuing body mix, with the Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Tampa, 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) all actively procuring under or related to this code in the past four months. State procurement offices also appear in this space—the State of Georgia issued separate solicitations for food supplies and fresh produce in May and April 2026. The geographic spread concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with additional activity in Florida and Missouri, reflecting the prevalence of school nutrition procurement across regions.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope and complexity of institutional fresh-produce procurement. Early County Board of Education issued an RFP for line-by-line food vendor bids due June 8, 2026, requesting approximately 300 food items across meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, plus 60 non-food and paper supplies, with deliveries six days a week and firm pricing for 15 days post-award. Northside Independent School District (NISD), San Antonio, posted RFP 2026-048 on April 14, 2026, due May 7, 2026, for fresh produce delivered five days a week to all district campuses from August 2026 through May 2027, with evaluation weighting 35 percent to purchase price, 25 percent to extent of goods meeting needs, and 15 percent to quality, using USDA Specialty Crops Terminal Markets Standard Reports for price adjustments. Hillsborough County Public Schools solicited proposals for the federally funded Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) under RFP 26039RFQDST, due March 11, 2026, requesting specialty pre-cut fruits and vegetables in 50-unit cases delivered Mondays and Tuesdays to 18 elementary schools with a cost-plus fixed fee structure and an estimated annual budget of $600,000. The Douglas County School System issued cooperative RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026, covering fresh produce and eggs for 30 school districts across two Georgia areas with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. All recent solicitations emphasize HACCP certification, Buy American compliance, domestic sourcing preference, USDA child-nutrition reimbursable compliance, firm fixed pricing or price-adjustment mechanisms tied to USDA reports, and weekly or twice-weekly deliveries with temperature control and traceability requirements—indicating a mature, regulated market where product quality, supply chain integrity, and compliance documentation drive vendor selection alongside price.
