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, a Commodity code, does not map to the actual procurement activity in the source. The recent opportunities posted under this code span comprehensive food service supply across school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food distribution—encompassing fresh produce, groceries, breakfast and lunch items, dairy, proteins, condiments, and related supplies. No solicitations specifically target dried dazzle corn or any dried specialty corn product.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent activity from Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), and Douglas County School System (Georgia). State-level procurement appears in Georgia's general food and kitchen products solicitation, Texas Health and Human Services Commission procurement for an institutional living center, and the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) purchasing on behalf of its Board of Education. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services. Representative recent opportunities include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) covering 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens across multiple food categories; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026) with an anticipated value of $3.1 million; and Douglas County School System's food supply and distribution services RFP (due February 18, 2026) supporting approximately 32,000 meals daily across 32 schools with estimated annual spend of $9 million. Geographic concentration centers on Georgia, with additional activity in Connecticut, Florida, and Virginia. The code's designation appears misaligned with actual procurement scope, which reflects broad-based institutional food sourcing rather than a specialty commodity line.
