UNSPSC 50626721: Non GMO earlivee corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO earlivee 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 50626721 Non GMO early-peel corn purees (Commodity) represents a narrow product line that state and local governments procure almost exclusively through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The recent opportunities block contains no solicitations directly matching this specific commodity code; the opportunities instead reflect broader food procurement activity across produce, staple groceries, proteins, and consumables for schools, correctional facilities, and health and human services agencies. The code itself appears inactive in current state and local procurement, with no recent school district, state agency, or municipal RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB explicitly requesting non-GMO early-peel corn purees by name or specification.

School nutrition programs and state institutional food services procurement activity is concentrated in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, and Oregon, with issuing bodies spanning independent school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state corrections and health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Representative recent solicitations include the Texas HHSC's procurement of supplemental food and consumables for state hospitals and supported living centers (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, estimated prior-period spend of $1.5 million for the year), the Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC cooperative serving 30 districts (RFP SN 26-004, estimated spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two), and the Ben Hill County Schools food bid (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026, covering multiple categories including produce). The absence of any solicitation matching UNSPSC 50626721 specifically signals either minimal procurement volume for this commodity among state and local buyers or a systematic tagging mismatch in the recent-opportunities dataset.
