UNSPSC 50626716: Non GMO dazzle corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO dazzle 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 50626716 Non GMO dazzle corn purees is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses far broader food-service procurement than its title suggests. State and local governments buying under this code are actually soliciting full meal-support inventories — fresh, frozen, canned, and prepared proteins; produce; dairy; grains; condiments; and disposable food-service supplies — for institutional food service operations including state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior centers, and school nutrition programs. The issuing bodies are mixed: state health and human services commissions (Texas HHS), state correctional departments (Oregon DOC, Texas TDCJ), county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County, Georgia; Ben Hill County, Georgia; Burke County, Georgia), independent school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and state-level agency cooperatives (State of Georgia, State of Illinois). Texas Health and Human Services appears as a repeat buyer across multiple state-supported living centers. Notice types are predominantly IFB (Invitation for Bid) and IWQ (informal written quote), with response dates typically compressed to two to four weeks from posting.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted multiple consumables solicitations for Lufkin and El Paso State Supported Living Centers (HHS0018082 due October 23, 2026; HHS0017872 due August 25, 2026; HHS0017449 due July 13, 2026), with the El Paso procurement historically valued at $1.5 million annually. The Texas Comptroller has issued IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products serving multiple TDCJ warehouse locations (due May 4, 2026). Georgia school districts — Ben Hill County Schools (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026) and Burke County Public Schools (due June 5, 2026) — are soliciting comprehensive food inventories for FY 2026–2027 operations. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested informal written quotes for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable items including peanut butter, canned proteins, and vegetables (IWQ 140229, due October 19, 2026). Oregon Department of Corrections issued an IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes meeting USDA Grade B standards (S2910000017145, due June 19, 2026). The State of Illinois and State of Georgia also posted food-service solicitations, though one Georgia posting (PE55645NONST2026000000009) provided minimal detail in the available materials.
