UNSPSC 50626766: Non GMO telstar corn purees

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO telstar 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 50626766 Non GMO telstar corn purees is a Commodity code that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty corn products with non-GMO and varietal specifications—does not match the work actually being solicited under the opportunities posted since late January 2026. Instead, the recent activity tagged to this code centers on broad food service procurement for institutional buyers: school districts, state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, and state veterans homes are soliciting canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, supplemental foods, and general grocery and consumable items for cafeterias, nutrition programs, and institutional kitchens across multiple states.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Rockwood R-VI School District, Missouri; Burke County Public Schools, Georgia; Liberty County Board of Education, Georgia; Muscogee County School District, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Ben Hill County Schools, Georgia; Douglas County School System, Georgia) alongside state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, State of Illinois, State of Georgia). The geographic spread spans Virginia, Missouri, Georgia, Texas, Oregon, and Illinois. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for supplemental food and consumable products for state hospitals and supported living centers statewide (HHS0017449, response due July 13, 2026); the Oregon Department of Corrections' ITB for canned tomatoes (approximately 7,616 cases, S2910000017145, response due June 19, 2026); Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB for delivery to 45 schools plus seven distribution kitchens (IFB 2000004323, response due April 27, 2026); and Rockwood R-VI School District's solicitations for grocery items and Net Off Invoice products for the 2026-27 school year (response due April 29, 2026). The code shows no alignment with specialty non-GMO varietal corn purees and warrants review for potential reclassification or removal from active procurement tracking.
