UNSPSC 50593207: Dried Non GMO biqueen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO biqueen 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 50593207 Dried Non GMO Biqueen Corn is a Commodity code covering a single agricultural product line. State and local governments procure this item primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. The solicitations tagged under this code show that procurement bodies are purchasing dried corn as part of much broader grocery and produce sourcing efforts — the code itself represents one line item within contracts spanning 1,100+ grocery items, 200+ fresh produce line items, or full food service supply operations. School districts, county boards of education, and state-supported facilities are the primary issuing bodies, all sourcing dried corn alongside fresh produce, protein, dairy, and prepared foods to meet National School Lunch Program standards and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition requirements. Vendors must comply with Buy American provisions requiring at least 51 percent domestic agricultural content, maintain HACCP plans with 24/7 recall accessibility, provide complete nutritional analyses and ingredient documentation, and typically carry commercial general liability insurance in the $1–$2 million range per occurrence.

Recent opportunities show solicitation activity across the Southeast and scattered other jurisdictions. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and Bridgeport Board of Education posted IFB BNB052266 for grocery items (response due June 30, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 for the El Paso State Supported Living Center food service (response due July 11, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce (response due June 26, 2026); and Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged meal boxes (response due April 29, 2026). Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17.8 million over three years (response due June 25, 2026). The State of Georgia posted solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (response due June 22, 2026). None of these notices isolates dried corn as a standalone line item or named commodity — the code shows little focused, standalone procurement activity and appears to function as a classification tag within much larger food service aggregations.
