UNSPSC 50626757: Non GMO showcase corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO showcase 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 50626757 Non GMO showcase corn purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code buy food products—primarily fresh produce, dairy, proteins, and prepared foods for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, state hospitals, and veterans' homes. The recent opportunities block shows active procurement across school districts, state corrections departments, health and human services agencies, and state institutions, with issuing bodies spanning Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Oregon, Texas, and Virginia. Food service procurement at this level typically involves detailed product specifications, compliance with USDA or FDA standards, firm pricing structures, delivery schedules, and insurance requirements; bidders must often meet experience thresholds, maintain liability coverage, and comply with Buy American Act provisions where applicable.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix across recent solicitations, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia), Burke County Public Schools (Georgia), Liberty County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Muscogee County School District (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State agencies also appear frequently: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (for state supported living centers and hospitals), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (via the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts), the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Illinois (Illinois Veterans Home), and the State of Georgia (fresh produce procurement). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center food and consumable procurement (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026, with a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million), Fairfax County Public Schools Master Grocery K-12 term contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026, serving 45 schools plus distribution kitchens), the Douglas County School System Food Supply and Distribution Services RFP (due February 18, 2026, with estimated annual spend of $9 million), and the Rockwood R-VI School District Grocery Items procurement (due April 29, 2026, with over 900 line items). Geographic concentration is strongest in the Southeast (Georgia dominates with multiple school districts and counties), followed by Texas (state agencies and TDCJ facilities), the Pacific Northwest (Oregon corrections), the Midwest (Illinois, Missouri), and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia). Activity is ongoing and robust, with response dates spanning January through July 2026 and contract periods typically running July 1 through June 30 to align with the school fiscal year.
