UNSPSC 50626753: Non GMO seneca dawn corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca dawn 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 50626753 Non GMO seneca dawn corn purees, a Commodity code, captures shelf-stable and specialty food products that state and local governments procure for institutional food service operations—school cafeterias, state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, and county senior programs. Recent solicitations under this code span prepared and frozen foods, canned vegetables, dairy products, proteins, condiments, and ancillary food service supplies; the code's nominal focus on a specific corn variety has not materialized in recent postings, which instead reflect broader institutional food procurement encompassing dozens of line items and multiple product categories sourced together. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, correctional agencies, school districts, and county nutrition programs; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears twice in the recent record, and Georgia and Texas school districts feature prominently. Procurement vehicles range from formal IFBs with extended contract terms and renewal options to informal written quotes; most require firm fixed pricing on a per-unit or per-case basis, FOB Destination delivery within seven days of order, and three-year contract horizons with optional renewals.

The State of Illinois and State of Georgia also posted food solicitations in June 2026 with limited detail available. Most solicitations require vendors to meet food safety standards (USDA grades, FDA/USDA compliance, HACCP plans where applicable), submit three verifiable references, and maintain liability insurance of $500,000 per occurrence or higher; Buy American requirements apply to school nutrition contracts.
