UNSPSC 50593221: Dried Non GMO earlivee corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO earlivee 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 50593221 Dried Non GMO earlivee corn is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not reflect procurement of dried corn products. Instead, the code appears applied to broader school nutrition and foodservice operations where fresh produce, grocery staples, and meal services dominate the solicitation activity. State and local governments are using this code to tag comprehensive food supply contracts spanning fresh and frozen produce, proteins, dairy, beverages, bakery items, and prepared meals for school districts, county nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state facility food operations. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (Fairfax County Public Schools, Bridgeport Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, Douglas County School System, and Hancock County Board of Education), supplemented by county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School nutrition contracts represent the largest share of recent activity under this code.

Recent representative solicitations include Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services throughout Florida, with an estimated contract value of $17,832,659.90 over three years and a response deadline of June 25, 2026; Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools plus distribution kitchens across Virginia, with sealed bids due April 27, 2026; and the City of Meriden's RFP 026-41 for commercial groceries, produce, and processed USDA Foods serving 8,200 students across 13 sites, with a contract value of approximately $3,100,000 for 2026-2027 and proposals due February 25, 2026. Douglas County School System issued RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution services estimated at $9,000,000 annually for approximately 25,500 students across 32 schools, with sealed proposals due February 18, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia. Buy American provisions requiring 51 percent domestic content, HACCP food safety compliance, nutritional labeling standards, and firm fixed pricing are standard across these opportunities.
