UNSPSC 50626760: Non GMO spring snow corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO spring snow 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 50626760 Non GMO spring snow corn purees (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food procurement activity currently being solicited under this code. Recent opportunities show that governments are buying broad consumable food products — prepared and frozen proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, fresh produce, and food service supplies — rather than the narrowly specified non-GMO corn puree product the code describes. State and local issuing bodies include school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois state agencies), and county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia). The mix spans institutional food service across correctional facilities, state-supported living centers, senior services centers, school nutrition programs, and state hospital systems. Recent solicitations under this code show IFBs and informal written quotes (IWQs) for food procurement, with contract terms typically running 12 months with renewal options available.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools), and Oregon (Department of Corrections canned-tomato and potato bids). Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018082 for consumable foods at the Lufkin State Supported Living Center (22 line items, bids due October 23, 2026), the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners informal written quote for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items (35 line items, quotes due October 19, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections IFB for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes at $13.75 per case (previous purchase February 2026, bids due June 19, 2026), and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T26300CF for cafeteria food products to supply TDCJ warehouse locations (approximately 382 line items, bids due May 4, 2026 after addendum extension). Vendors should note that institutional food procurement typically requires FOB Destination delivery within 7 to 30 days of order, compliance with USDA grade standards, liability insurance minimums of $500,000 to $1,000,000, and verifiable references for similar contracts within the past five years.
