UNSPSC 50593209: Dried Non GMO butter and sugar corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO butter & sugar 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 50593209 Dried Non GMO butter and sugar corn, a Commodity code, covers dried specialty corn products supplied to school districts, county health agencies, and municipal nutrition programs for institutional food service and cafeteria operations. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect a broader sourcing pattern: school nutrition departments and public health agencies procure dried corn as one line item among hundreds of food products in large grocery or produce contracts, where the corn is specified alongside fresh produce, frozen goods, condiments, and proteins to support meal programs serving K–12 students and seniors. The issuing bodies span school districts (independent and county boards), county commissioners' offices managing senior nutrition programs, and state health agencies operating residential care facilities. Vendors responding to these opportunities must meet federal nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, comply with Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products, and often provide HACCP plans, health inspection records, liability insurance, and nutritional documentation at bid submission.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut posted an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (including dried corn specifications) for the Board of Education Food & Nutrition Services Department with bids due June 30, 2026. Hancock County Board of Education in Sparta, Georgia solicited fresh produce and related food items under IFB SN002-2027 with a June 26, 2026 deadline. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center under IFB HHS0017449 with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a historical contract value of $1.5 million. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90 and bids due June 25, 2026. Georgia's statewide procurement (PE55645NONST2026000000009) issued a general solicitation for food, supplies, and kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 deadline.
