UNSPSC 50593240: Dried Non GMO merlin corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO merlin corn that has been dried for preservation. 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.

These opportunities span IFBs, RFPs, and ITBs with response dates ranging from late April through mid-July 2026, and contract values from $1.5 million to $17.8 million over multi-year periods. Buy American provisions requiring domestic agricultural content (typically 51 percent minimum), HACCP compliance, nutritional standards, and firm fixed pricing are standard.
