UNSPSC 50593218: Dried Non GMO divinity corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO divinity 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 50593218 Dried Non GMO divinity corn is a Commodity code that encompasses dried corn products used in school nutrition programs and institutional food service, though the recent solicitations tagged under this code show limited direct activity for the specific commodity and instead reflect broader food procurement across multiple categories. State and local governments soliciting under this code span school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and municipal purchasing offices. The work involves sourcing food products for child nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations, with emphasis on compliance with Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP certification, nutritional standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and delivery to multiple school sites or facilities on firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges permitted.

Recent opportunities show activity concentrated in the Southeast and spanning multiple states.

The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued HHS0017449 in June 2026 for food and consumable products serving the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 11, 2026 and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia posted IFB #SN002-2027 in June 2026 for fresh produce across over 200 line items, with bids due June 26, 2026 and delivery to three school sites through June 2027.

The Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged 7-day meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program, with sealed bids due April 29, 2026.
