UNSPSC 50626732: Non GMO iochief corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO iochief 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 50626732, Non GMO iochief corn purees, is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of broader food supply contracts for institutional feeding operations, primarily school districts and state agencies. The recent solicitations tagged under this code show it functioning within the wider category of food products purchased for cafeterias, food service operations, and state facilities — though the specific code appears to capture specialized ingredient purchases rather than standalone orders, surfacing instead within comprehensive grocery and produce bids that address dozens or hundreds of line items at once. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia), state departments and agencies (State of Illinois Veterans Home, Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and large regional cooperative purchasing groups (GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 Georgia school districts). Work under the code encompasses acquisition of food items for child nutrition programs, state institutional facilities, and group feeding operations, with vendors expected to meet USDA standards, Buy American requirements where applicable, HACCP compliance, and delivery schedules tied to weekly or monthly meal service cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Oregon, and Illinois based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (posted June 11, 2026, due July 13, 2026) for food and consumable products serving the HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million annually; the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB S2910000016405 for canned tomatoes (posted February 20, 2026, due March 9, 2026) seeking approximately 1,904 cases; and the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative (posted February 4, 2026, due March 4, 2026) for fresh produce and eggs across 30 school districts with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas. Pricing in these solicitations is typically firm fixed or cost-plus-fixed-fee, with suppliers required to absorb transportation, fuel, and all delivery costs. Evaluation favors lowest responsive bidders meeting specification compliance, though some districts reserve authority to award to multiple vendors by line item. The code shows consistent quarterly and annual demand cycles driven by school year calendars and institutional meal planning.
