UNSPSC 50593235: Dried Non GMO kandy korn corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO kandy korn 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 50593235 Dried Non GMO kandy korn corn is a Commodity code that nominally describes a single product line, but recent state and local solicitations show little activity directly aligned with this specific item. The code appears in a procurement dataset alongside active school nutrition, senior meal, and institutional food service contracts, yet none of the recent opportunities name dried candy corn or this product specifically as a line item or requirement. The scope of actual procurements under related codes spans comprehensive grocery supply for school districts, fresh produce for institutional food service, and packaged meal delivery for senior nutrition programs—work that extends far beyond a single specialty corn product.

State and local issuing bodies pursuing food service procurement include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Fairfax County Public Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Meriden Public Schools, and Douglas County School System), counties and cities (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida, City of Dallas), a state health authority (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and the State of Georgia. The recent opportunities reflect substantial contract values—ranging from $1.5 million in historical annual spend at a Texas state supported living center to approximately $17.8 million over three years for Hillsborough County senior meal services and $9 million annually at Douglas County Schools—concentrated in K-12 school nutrition, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, and institutional food service. Geographic activity clusters in Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), Texas (state facility), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), and Virginia (Fairfax County). Representative recent opportunities include Bridgeport Board of Education's IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for food and consumable products with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million, due July 13, 2026; and Meriden Public Schools' RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million, due February 25, 2026. The code itself shows no current market activity for the specific product named.
