UNSPSC 50593228: Dried Non GMO hudson corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO hudson 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 50593228 Dried Non GMO hudson corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried corn and related grain products as components of broader food-service supply contracts for schools, senior centers, and institutional facilities. Recent opportunities show this code embedded within large, multi-item grocery and food-service procurement solicitations rather than as a standalone line item, reflecting institutional purchasing patterns where dried corn appears alongside cereals, produce, proteins, and other staple food commodities. Issuing bodies span school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state-level procurement arms (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs and senior meal services are the primary use cases, with contracts often subject to Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), HACCP compliance, nutritional standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and delivery requirements to multiple institutional sites on firm fixed pricing with no fuel or freight surcharges.

Recent opportunities cluster in the Southeast, with posted solicitations from Connecticut, Georgia (two), Texas, Mississippi, and Florida between April and June 2026. Representative recent procurement includes Bridgeport's June 2026 grocery bid spanning over 1,100 line items for school lunch service (RFQ, due June 30, 2026), Hancock County's June 2026 fresh-produce and grain solicitation for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026), Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 institutional food supply bid for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical spend of $1.5 million annually (IFB HHS0017449, due July 11, 2026), Hillsborough County's June 2026 senior-meal preparation and delivery services bid valued at $17.8 million over three years (ITB 2600289, due June 25, 2026), and the State of Georgia's May 2026 food-supplies solicitation (bid due June 22, 2026). The code shows active pursuit across school nutrition, state institutional feeding, and county aging-services programs, though dried corn appears as one among hundreds of commodity line items rather than as a procurement driver in its own right.
