UNSPSC 50593226: Dried Non GMO honey ‘n pearl corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO honey 'n pearl 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 50593226 Dried Non-GMO honey 'n pearl corn, a Commodity code, does not align with the scope of recent state and local contract opportunities identified in the dataset. The code nominally describes a specific agricultural product—a branded or specialty corn variety—yet the recent solicitations tagged under this code exclusively address comprehensive food service procurement spanning groceries, fresh produce, meal preparation, and related food supply contracts for schools, government facilities, and senior services. This misalignment suggests either a data-classification error in the procurement system or that the code's narrow commodity scope does not reflect actual buying patterns in state and local food service procurement.

The recent opportunities show substantial activity in school nutrition programs, county meal services, and state facility food supply across multiple jurisdictions including Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education), Texas (HHSC El Paso State Supported Living Center), Georgia (multiple school districts including Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham County, and Douglas County), Florida (Hillsborough County senior meal services), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools), with contracts ranging from approximately $1.5 million to $17.8 million. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (response due April 27, 2026, spanning 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens), Meriden Public Schools RFP for commercial groceries and USDA foods (estimated contract value $3.1 million, response due February 25, 2026), Douglas County School System RFP for food supply and distribution (estimated $9 million annually, response due February 18, 2026), and Hillsborough County's senior meal preparation and delivery services ITB (estimated $17.8 million over three years, response due June 25, 2026). If pursuit is based on this code assignment, request clarification from the procurement office on the intended commodity scope before allocating resources to respond.
