UNSPSC 50593201: Dried Non GMO aloha corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO aloha 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 50593201 Dried Non GMO aloha corn (Commodity) represents a narrow specialty agricultural product that state and local governments procure principally through school nutrition and institutional food service programs. Recent solicitations under this code show that school districts and state-supported facilities purchase dried corn as part of broader food-service contracts—not as standalone commodity buys. The Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery-line items for the National School Lunch Program, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh-produce IFB all operate within the larger ecosystem of child nutrition and institutional meal service where dried corn products may be specified as components. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and county boards of education, with occasional state-level procurement from departments operating residential or congregate-meal facilities. These buyers are highly sensitive to Buy American provisions (typically requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), HACCP compliance, nutritional standards aligned with federal child nutrition regulations, and firm pricing over 12-month contract terms.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with recent opportunities posted from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi between April and June 2026. The Bridgeport Board of Education IFB (BNB052266, due June 30, 2026) and Hancock County Board of Education IFB (PE67080NONST2027000000013, due June 26, 2026) represent the most directly comparable school nutrition platforms; both specify extensive line items, require firm pricing through June 30, 2027, mandate prepaid freight to central warehouses and school sites, and demand compliance with nutritional standards and ingredient sourcing documentation. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 (due July 13, 2026, with historical value of $1.5 million annually) extends the pattern to state-operated facilities. Pricing is consistently firm fixed across all identified solicitations, delivery is scheduled during school operational hours or facility business hours, and all buyers reserve the right to split awards across multiple vendors or consolidate to a single supplier. No recent opportunities are tagged exclusively to dried aloha corn; the code appears to see activity only when embedded within larger institutional food-service RFQs or IFBs.
