UNSPSC 50593217: Dried Non GMO diamonds and gold corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO diamonds & gold 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 50593217 Dried Non-GMO Diamonds and Gold Corn, a Commodity code, shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its stated scope. The code's nominal title—specialty dried corn varieties—does not match the actual solicitations tagged under it, which uniformly solicit general grocery items, fresh produce, meals, and food service supplies for school districts, county governments, and state agencies. The mismatch between code definition and procurement practice indicates the code sees minimal or misdirected use in state and local contracting.

The recent opportunities associated with this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix: Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) have all solicited grocery, produce, or meal-preparation services. Other bodies include the City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (Connecticut) on behalf of Bridgeport Board of Education, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) for senior meal delivery, and the State of Georgia. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (April 2026, due April 27), Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods RFP (due February 25, 2026, anticipated contract value $3.1 million), and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery ITB (June 2026, estimated value $17.8 million over three years). These opportunities reflect institutional food service, not the dried specialty corn the code nominally describes, and the code's utility for business development targeting this actual activity is limited.
