UNSPSC 50626722: Non GMO early xtra sweet corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO early xtra sweet 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 50626722 Non GMO early extra sweet corn purees is a Commodity code reflecting state and local government food procurement for institutional meal service. The code sees minimal recent solicitation activity — only one opportunity in the source data explicitly targets this product line, but widespread school district, state facility, and correctional system food purchasing shows heavy demand for processed produce purees and similar shelf-stable vegetable products as meal-service components. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under related food-service codes include school nutrition programs (serving K-12 districts across multiple states), state health and human services commissions supplying hospitals and state-supported living centers, departments of corrections, state veterans homes, and regional school cooperatives. School districts dominate the recent activity, with solicitations from Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Douglas County School System (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), and Muscogee County School District (Georgia), alongside state-level facilities in Texas, Illinois, and Oregon. Food procurement under this code tier spans fresh, frozen, canned, and processed produce items together with proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies — with school lunch programs placing the highest order frequency and volume.

The State of Illinois issued an RFQ for weekly food orders (solicitation 27497DVAQUINCB52821, due June 26, 2026) covering quarterly supply to the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy, while the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with an estimated prior-period value of $1.5 million). The Oregon Department of Corrections has posted multiple produce and prepared-food buys including canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, ITB S2910000016405, due June 19, 2026) and tomato paste (approximately 1,904 cases, ITB S2910000016089, due March 9, 2026). Representative school-district solicitations include Ben Hill County Schools' comprehensive food bid covering fresh, frozen, and shelf-stable items (IFB #26271, due June 15, 2026), Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 procurement serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), and the Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP targeting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual value approximately $9 million). Recent activity clusters in Georgia (school districts and state nutrition programs), Texas (state health and human services facilities), Missouri (Rockwood school district), Virginia (Fairfax County), and Oregon (corrections). Buy American Act compliance, USDA grade and nutritional standards, firm fixed pricing with limited midterm adjustment provisions, weekly or scheduled delivery to multiple school sites or institutional locations, and liability insurance requirements of $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence are standard across these solicitations. Set-aside designations for disadvantaged or minority-owned businesses are not mentioned in the recent opportunity block, indicating open competitive bidding.
