UNSPSC 50593216: Dried Non GMO dazzle corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO dazzle 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 50593216 Dried Non GMO dazzle corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure it as part of broader food-service and school-nutrition solicitations that bundle produce, proteins, grains, and prepared items for child nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, and institutional dining. The code appears in composite grocery and fresh-produce RFQs and IFBs where it competes alongside other commodity proteins and starches rather than as a standalone line item; buyers emphasize compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed goods), Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and allergen restrictions. Issuing bodies include school districts (boards of education), county governments (boards of county commissioners), state health and human services agencies, and municipal food-service procurement offices. Vendors must meet food-safety certifications (HACCP plans, state health inspections), insurance requirements (typically $1 million to $2 million in general liability and products liability), and deliver on palletized standards with prepaid freight to multiple school sites or institutional facilities on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases solicited over 1,100 line items of grocery goods (BNB052266, IFB, due June 30, 2026) for the Bridgeport Board of Education; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center (HHS0017449, IFB, due July 13, 2026) with a prior-period value of $1.5 million; Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce across 200-plus line items (SN002-2027, IFB, due June 26, 2026); and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, ITB, due June 25, 2026) valued at $17.8 million over three years. School districts and county nutrition programs appear to be the primary repeat buyers, with contract terms typically running one to three years and payment on Net 30 to Net 45 days. The code shows active procurement across school breakfast and lunch programs, congregate senior dining, and state institutional food service.
