UNSPSC 50626724: Non GMO golden cross bantam corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO golden cross bantam 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 50626724 Non GMO golden cross bantam corn purees (Commodity) appears rarely in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty corn purees meeting non-GMO and specific varietal standards—does not align with the actual work being solicited under opportunities tagged to this code. Recent solicitations posted under the code instead cover broad food service procurement for schools, corrections facilities, state health agencies, and veterans' homes, spanning canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, general grocery items, and multi-category food supply contracts. The mismatch between code label and sourcing activity suggests either misclassification in state procurement systems or use of this commodity code as a catch-all placeholder for broader food procurement categories.

State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Douglas County School System in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state veterans' homes (Illinois Veterans Home). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Illinois, and Virginia across the most recent opportunities. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center (response deadline July 13, 2026), Ben Hill County Schools' IFB #26271 for food products and related items across multiple categories (response deadline June 15, 2026), and the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (response deadline June 19, 2026). The code shows active procurement volume but limited relevance to the stated commodity scope.
