UNSPSC 50593220: Dried Non GMO double gem corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO double gem 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 50593220 Dried Non GMO double gem corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow agricultural product line that state and local governments purchase primarily as one component within much broader food-service and school-nutrition solicitations rather than as a standalone commodity. Recent opportunities show that this specific corn product is solicited alongside hundreds of other grocery, fresh produce, and meal-service line items as part of integrated school lunch, senior meal, and institutional food-service contracts. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and county social-services departments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners). These solicitations reflect compliance with the National School Lunch Program, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent minimum for processed agricultural products), and HACCP food-safety protocols. Vendors must navigate standardized ordering systems (such as LINQ School Solutions), maintain inventory backup for emergency 24-hour delivery, and provide complete nutritional analyses, product formulations, health inspections, and liability insurance documentation.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi, with school-district nutrition programs representing the primary buyer segment. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items with a response deadline of June 30, 2026, supporting the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services through a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 contract term. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products to the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a response deadline of July 11, 2026 (questions due June 22, 2026) and a prior-period historical value of $1.5 million. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia released IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce with bids due June 26, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB-26-00289, bids due June 25, 2026) with an estimated three-year contract value of $17,832,659.90. The Commodity code shows minimal standalone procurement velocity; dried non-GMO double gem corn appears only as a subordinate line item within these large institutional food-service aggregations.
