UNSPSC 50593208: Dried Non GMO bodacious corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO bodacious 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 50593208 Dried Non GMO bodacious corn is a Commodity code representing dried corn and corn-based products purchased by state and local school districts and public-sector food service operations. State and local governments procure this commodity primarily as part of broader school nutrition programs and institutional food service supply chains, where dried corn appears as a line item within larger grocery and food product solicitations supporting the National School Lunch Program, child nutrition summer food service programs, and senior meal services. The recent activity reflects a consistent pattern of school districts, state health and human services agencies, and county nutrition programs bundling dried corn with dozens or hundreds of other food commodities in single consolidated IFB or RFQ notices rather than procuring it as a standalone item. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include independent school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state-level procurement offices (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county government food service operations (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida).

Geographic activity spans the South and Mid-Atlantic, with recent opportunities posted from Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items including dried goods, due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American requirements mandating 51 percent domestic agricultural content; Hancock County Board of Education's IFB for fresh produce spanning over 200 produce line items for the 2026-27 school year, due June 26, 2026, with similar Buy American provisions; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical annual value of $1.5 million, proposals due July 11, 2026; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17,832,659.90 over three years, due June 25, 2026. All recent solicitations enforce federal nutrition standards, require comprehensive vendor compliance documentation, and mandate prepaid delivery with firm fixed pricing throughout the contract term.
