UNSPSC 50593200: Dried Non GMO corn

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO corn that has been dried for preservation. 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 50593200 Dried Non GMO corn is a Class code that covers commodity food products for institutional meal programs. State and local governments procure dried and processed corn products primarily for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and county nutrition departments buying dried corn both as standalone items within broader grocery contracts and as components of multi-commodity food service agreements. The issuing bodies include city and county boards of education, county commissioners' offices administering senior services, state health and human services commissions, and independent school districts. Most activity reflects institutional food purchasing under the National School Lunch Program, Adult Care Food Program, and Summer Food Service Program, all subject to Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content and HACCP compliance.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi.
