UNSPSC 50626764: Non GMO sugar snow corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sugar 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 50626764 Non GMO sugar snow corn purees is a Commodity code covering specialty vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for this specific item. Instead, the code appears tagged to broader fresh produce and prepared-food procurements where corn purees would be incidental line items rather than focal requirements. The issuing bodies pursuing work under this code span school districts (Ben Hill County Schools in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Douglas County Schools in Georgia, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools in Georgia), state corrections departments (Oregon Department of Corrections), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers and state hospitals), and state veteran homes (Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy). School nutrition programs dominate the issuing-body mix, typically procuring food products through annual IFB or RFP cycles with July start dates aligned to fiscal school years. State institutional food service—particularly corrections and supported living centers—represents secondary but consistent demand, with quantities measured in truckloads and cases.

The geographic concentration reflects recent activity in the Southeast and Midwest, with Georgia school districts appearing repeatedly across multiple recent opportunities (Ben Hill County, Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham), followed by Texas institutional procurement through HHSC, Oregon Department of Corrections, Illinois Veterans Home procurement, Missouri school districts, and Virginia school systems. Representative recent opportunities include Douglas County Schools issuing RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs covering 30 districts across two Georgia regions with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One (response due March 4, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission issuing IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with responses due July 13, 2026 and historical value of $1.5 million for the prior period; and Ben Hill County Schools issuing IFB #26271 for comprehensive school nutrition food products with bids due June 15, 2026, requiring Buy American compliance for domestic agricultural components exceeding 51 percent. Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 supplying 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus seven distribution kitchens with weekly deliveries, bids due April 27, 2026. These procurements emphasize firm fixed pricing over initial periods, USDA compliance, HACCP documentation, federal debarment certification, and general liability insurance minimums ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence.
