UNSPSC 50626717: Non GMO diamond and gold corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO diamonds and gold 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 50626717 Non GMO diamond and gold corn purees, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this category in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged with this code encompass broad food supply and produce procurement for institutional buyers—school districts, corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state veteran homes—but show no activity related to corn purees, GMO or non-GMO, or specialty grain products of any kind. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity suggests either miscategorization by issuing bodies or a code designation error in the data source.

The recent opportunities instead span fresh produce (apples, tomatoes, peppers, eggs), canned goods (tomatoes, prepared entrees), proteins (beef, chicken, fish), dairy products, frozen items, and consumable supplies for food service operations across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia; Rockwood R-VI, Ben Hill County, Burke County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County school systems across Georgia and Missouri), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home, Georgia state operations), and correctional facilities. Geographic spread covers Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois, with the densest activity in Georgia school nutrition procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026, with a historical contract value of $1.5 million for the prior 12-month period); the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026); and Fairfax County Public Schools IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 serving 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens (due April 27, 2026). The code shows no relevant recent activity tied to its stated commodity definition.
