UNSPSC 50586767: Non GMO terminator corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO terminator 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 50586767 Non GMO terminator corn is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The source provided no opportunities directly soliciting non-GMO terminator corn or any GMO-controlled seed products; instead, the opportunities consistently target fresh produce supply and food service distribution for school nutrition programs, fresh fruit and vegetable contracts for farm-to-school initiatives, and institutional food procurement across multiple categories including fruits, vegetables, eggs, and prepared items.

School districts and county boards of education in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, and Florida dominate recent activity under this code designation, though the mismatch between the commodity name and actual solicitation scope indicates either a cataloging error or that this code is not the primary vehicle for recent institutional food procurement. The representative opportunities include the Northside Independent School District (NISD) in San Antonio seeking fresh produce for child nutrition via RFP 2026-048 with response due May 7, 2026; Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa soliciting specialty fruits and vegetables for the USDA Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program via RFP with proposals due March 11, 2026; the Douglas County School System in Georgia issuing an RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 school districts with bids due March 4, 2026 and estimated spending of approximately $5.5 million combined; and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri soliciting over 900 line items of grocery items including produce via ITB with bids due April 29, 2026. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia (multiple school districts and county boards), Texas (NISD and McAllen and Austin ISDs), Missouri (Rockwood), and Florida (Hillsborough County). The code shows minimal relevance to actual current procurement in this space; business development professionals should verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities in school food service and institutional fresh produce supply.
