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 is a Commodity code covering specialty fresh produce procurement by state and local institutions. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reflect broad institutional food procurement spanning county parks concessions, healthcare foodservice, state government food supply, and school lunch programs. The work involves sourcing fresh vegetables meeting quality, food-safety, delivery, and often sustainability standards for multiple concurrent venues and customer bases. Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County Parks and Recreation), state agencies (Georgia), school districts (Early County Board of Education), and specialized healthcare coalitions (Marion Health Care Coalition). These buyers typically solicit produce through ITNs, RFQs, and line-item competitive bids; school districts often emphasize compliance with USDA National School Lunch Program standards, Buy American sourcing, domestic product preference, and low-sodium or reduced-sugar formulations.

The code shows recent activity across Florida, Georgia, and other states with school-district and county procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners soliciting food services via ITN (Solicitation 258360, response due March 6, 2025) for concessions at North Collier Regional Park including water park and athletic-field venues, with a local-vendor preference worth 10 evaluation points; Marion Health Care Coalition requesting produce proposals (Solicitation SP0040000017708, response due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables during the 2026-2027 contract period; the State of Georgia requesting bids on food and kitchen products (Solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009, response due June 22, 2026); and Early County Board of Education requesting line-by-line food bids (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006, response due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits across the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with domestic sourcing and whole-grain preferences emphasized.
