UNSPSC 50593202: Dried Non GMO alpine corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO alpine 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 50593202 Dried Non-GMO Alpine Corn (Commodity) appears rarely in recent state and local procurement activity; the code name does not align with the work actually being solicited under tagged opportunities. State and local governments typically procure dried corn as a bulk ingredient component within broader food service contracts, but the recent opportunities tagged to this code span fresh produce, complete meal preparation and delivery, grocery staples, and packaged meal boxes—none of which center on dried corn as a line item or procurement focus. The City of Bridgeport Board of Education's grocery items contract (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) covers over 1,100 line items across cereals, baked goods, vegetables, fruits, dairy, and meat for the National School Lunch Program, with no specific mention of dried corn. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's food and consumable products solicitation for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) spans food service and supply operations across multiple commodity classes but does not itemize dried corn. Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce contract (PE67080NONST2027000000013, IFB, due June 26, 2026) focuses on fresh apples, berries, vegetables, melons, and citrus across three school sites. Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB2600289, due June 25, 2026) is a $17,832,659.90 three-year congregate and home meal program with no dried corn specification.

The remaining recent opportunities—Georgia's food, supplies, and kitchen products procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009, due June 22, 2026) and Pascagoula-Gautier School District's summer food service packaged meal boxes (3170035565, due April 29, 2026)—similarly do not isolate dried corn as a procurement target. Geographic distribution of the tagged opportunities spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, but this reflects the broad jurisdictions issuing under food procurement codes generally, not concentration in dried corn demand. The code shows little relevant recent activity for business development purposes; vendors should monitor school district nutrition and state health services procurement more broadly rather than pursue this commodity code specifically.
