UNSPSC 50593230: Dried Non GMO illini xtra sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO illini xtra sweet 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 50593230 Dried Non GMO Illini Xtra Sweet Corn (Commodity) describes a specific dried corn product, but the recent state and local activity under this code does not reflect procurement of this ingredient alone. Instead, jurisdictions are buying broadly across food and consumable products—fresh produce, grocery staples, prepared meals, and kitchen supplies—for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service. The code appears in the context of larger multi-line-item food solicitations where dried corn may be one among hundreds of items rather than a standalone procurement focus. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state procurement offices (Georgia). School nutrition programs and state-supported institutional food service dominate the buyer base.

Recent opportunities span the Southeast and Texas with some activity in Connecticut. Hancock County Board of Education issued IFB #SN002-2027 on June 10, 2026, for fresh produce across over 200 line items (apples, berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, specialty produce) for the 2026–27 school year, with sealed bids due June 26, 2026. Bridgeport Board of Education solicited through City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases (BNB052266) on June 30, 2026, for over 1,100 grocery line items (breakfast items, cereals, frozen products, vegetables, fruits, dairy, snacks, beverages, meat) spanning breakfast and lunch service, with submission through OpenGov e-Procurement and compliance with National School Lunch Program and Buy American Provision (51% domestic agricultural content) requirements. Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0017449 on June 11, 2026, for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with a historical value of $1.5 million and proposals due July 13, 2026. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services estimated at $17.8 million over three years, with bids due June 25, 2026, requiring licensure on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Adult Care Food Program Caterer List. All opportunities emphasize Buy American provisions where applicable, firm fixed pricing with CPI adjustments permitted, HACCP compliance, nutritional standards, and delivery to multiple school or institutional sites.
