UNSPSC 50586766: Non GMO telstar corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO telstar 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 50586766 Non GMO Telstar corn, a Commodity code, describes specialty produce items state and local governments source for food service operations across parks, schools, and healthcare facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring fresh produce — including corn and other vegetables — through competitive bidding processes centered on food safety compliance, delivery timelines, volume requirements, and seasonal pricing flexibility. The issuing bodies span county park authorities, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions, with school districts and state agencies appearing as frequent buyers. Work under this code typically involves produce vendors meeting USDA compliance standards, maintaining cold-chain logistics, rotating inventory by sell-by date, and delivering to multiple operational sites on contracted schedules.

Geographic activity includes Georgia, Florida, and Marion County (state location unspecified in the source), though recent opportunities show concentrated solicitation activity among school districts and state food procurement offices. Representative recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid (IFB, due June 8, 2026) for 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits meeting USDA 2024 whole-grain and nutritional specifications, delivery Monday through Friday across three schools; the State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and kitchen products bid (IFB, due June 22, 2026); Marion Health Care Coalition's August 2026 produce proposal (due August 21, 2026) for fresh fruits and vegetables across the 2026-2027 contract period; and Collier County Board of County Commissioners' North Collier Regional Park food services ITN (due March 6, 2025) requiring diverse food and beverage options with a 10-point local-vendor preference for vendors meeting permanent-residency criteria in Collier or Lee County.
