UNSPSC 50593236: Dried Non GMO kiss ‘n tell corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO kiss 'n tell 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 50593236 Dried Non GMO kiss 'n tell corn, a Commodity code, does not reflect current state and local procurement activity. The source records show no solicitations for dried corn products, whether GMO or non-GMO. The fourteen posted opportunities dating from January through June 2026 span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and general grocery supply contracts, but none specifically name or solicit dried corn as a line item or commodity. The code's narrow product specification — a branded dried corn variety — does not align with the broader food procurement landscape state and local buyers are actively tapping. School districts and county systems are sourcing comprehensive food baskets through master grocery contracts, fresh produce agreements, and full-service meal delivery arrangements; senior services procurement centers on prepared and delivered meals meeting regulatory standards; and state institutional facilities request food and consumable products in bulk through commodity-grouped specifications rather than by individual branded items.

Geographic activity in recent state and local food procurement spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Virginia, with multiple school districts within these states soliciting under cooperative purchasing arrangements or independent RFP and IFB processes. Issuing bodies include county school systems (Bulloch County, Douglas County, Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia; Fairfax County in Virginia; Pascagoula-Gautier in Mississippi), municipal school districts (Meriden Public Schools, Connecticut), county-level services (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Florida; Texas Health and Human Services Commission for state-supported living centers), and city purchasing offices (Bridgeport, Connecticut; Dallas, Texas). Representative recent opportunities include the Bridgeport Board of Education's solicitation for 1,100 line items of grocery products (ITB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP for 30 cooperating districts across Georgia (RFP SN26-004, due March 4, 2026 at $4.4 million for Area One), and Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity and does not match the commodity specifications or aggregated purchasing patterns state and local bodies are currently deploying.
