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, does not see meaningful recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities posted under this code span fresh produce, boxed meal delivery, grocery items for schools and senior centers, and comprehensive food supply contracts—none of which align with the narrow scope of dried non-GMO butter and sugar corn as a standalone commodity. The code's nominal definition appears mismatched to actual buying patterns reflected in the state and local opportunities block, which shows instead broad-based food service procurement across multiple product lines and ingredient categories.

State and local purchasing bodies posting under this code include school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia; Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Mississippi; Bulloch County Board of Education, Georgia; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Georgia; Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut; Douglas County School System, Georgia), county commissioners (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida), municipal governments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut; City of Dallas, Texas; City of Meriden, Connecticut), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (Georgia). Recent geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, and Connecticut—with additional solicitations from Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools issuing an IFB for Master Grocery K-12 supply and delivery to 45 schools with a response date of April 27, 2026; Meriden Public Schools issuing an RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with anticipated contract value of approximately $3,100,000 and a response date of February 25, 2026; and Douglas County School System issuing an RFP for Food Supply and Distribution Services with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9,000,000 and a response date of February 18, 2026. The code shows no discrete procurement activity for dried non-GMO butter and sugar corn as a line item or standalone supplier category.
