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. The recent state and local solicitation activity under this code does not reflect procurement of dried non-GMO corn specifically. Instead, the opportunities tagged to this code span comprehensive food service contracting for school districts, county governments, and state agencies—including fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, eggs, and full-line food supply and distribution services. The actual buying activity under the code encompasses fresh fruit and vegetable supply (apples, berries, peppers, tomatoes, leafy greens), prepared foods for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and bulk meal delivery for municipal events. Issuing bodies include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Douglas County School System, Hancock County Board of Education), county governments (Hillsborough County, Douglas County), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and cities (Bridgeport, Dallas). School districts appear as repeat buyers, soliciting under cooperative purchasing arrangements and their own procurement vehicles.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas. Representative current solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026), covering 45 elementary, middle, and high schools plus distribution kitchens; Bulloch County Board of Education School Food Authority's comprehensive grocery bid (IFB #043025, due May 4, 2026), spanning food products, equipment, and supplies across 14 school delivery sites; City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases' grocery items procurement (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) for the Bridgeport Board of Education supporting the National School Lunch Program with over 1,100 line items and Buy American requirements; and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution RFP (26-003, due February 18, 2026) for a main-line distributor serving approximately 25,500 students with an estimated annual expenditure of $9,000,000. The code designation appears misaligned with the actual scope of buying activity—dried non-GMO corn is not surfaced as a line-item or category focus in recent solicitations, suggesting either a tagging artifact or a code that has shifted toward broader food service procurement categories.
