UNSPSC 50626738: Non GMO maple sweet corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO maple 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 50626738 Non-GMO maple sweet corn purees is a Commodity code that covers specialized produce-based food products for institutional food service, though state and local governments currently source this specific commodity infrequently relative to broader food procurement activity. Recent state and local solicitations under this and closely related produce codes demonstrate that school districts, state agencies operating correctional facilities and health-care institutions, and county nutrition programs buy canned and processed vegetable products as components of larger food supply contracts. The issuing bodies sourcing food products span school nutrition programs (elementary through high school districts in Georgia, Missouri, and Virginia), state departments of corrections (Oregon), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), and county school systems (Douglas County, Liberty County, Muscogee County in Georgia; Ben Hill County in Georgia; Burke County in Georgia). These organizations typically consolidate food procurement into annual or multi-year term contracts combining fresh, frozen, canned, and specialty items, with school districts as the predominant category of buyer, reflecting the concentration of institutional food service demand in the K-12 sector.

Geographic concentration of recent activity centers on Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, Virginia, and Illinois, with school district nutrition programs in Georgia alone appearing across multiple recent solicitations (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Douglas County School System). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to supply the El Paso State Supported Living Center (proposals due July 13, 2026), encompassing 210 line items with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million; the Oregon Department of Corrections' February 2026 ITB S2910000015837 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (bids due February 9, 2026); and Ben Hill County Schools' May 2026 IFB for school nutrition food across multiple product categories including canned goods (bids due June 15, 2026). Pricing in these solicitations is firm and fixed for the initial contract period, with adjustments tied to third-party market indices such as USDA pricing data or Consumer Price Index, and all suppliers must comply with Buy American requirements for domestically sourced agricultural content, USDA grade standards, HACCP food safety protocols, and minimum general liability insurance of $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence depending on the jurisdiction.
