UNSPSC 50593239: Dried Non GMO medley corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO medley 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 50593239 Dried Non GMO medley corn, a Commodity code, covers packaged dried corn products for institutional food service — most commonly appearing in school nutrition, senior meal programs, and state-supported facility meal contracts. Recent solicitations show the code intersects with broader food-service procurement where dried corn products are part of larger vegetable or grain line-item rosters rather than standalone purchases. State and local bodies procuring under this code include school districts (elementary through high school), county board of education systems, state departments of health and human services, and county commissioners' offices coordinating senior nutrition programs. Vendors supplying dried corn must meet Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent minimum for processed agricultural products), comply with HACCP food-safety protocols, carry substantial product liability and general liability insurance, and adhere to nutrition standards such as the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act where school meals are involved. Contracts typically run one fiscal or academic year with optional renewal periods at the buyer's discretion.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases and Bridgeport Board of Education issued an RFQ (BNB052266) for over 1,100 grocery line items including vegetables and dried goods, due June 30, 2026, with firm fixed pricing and Net 45 payment terms supporting July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 school-year service. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB (HHS0017449) on June 11, 2026 for food and consumable products supplying the El Paso State Supported Living Center on a September 1, 2026 contract start, with a historical prior-year spend of $1.5 million and firm unit-rate pricing subject to CPI adjustments. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia solicited fresh produce and related items under IFB SN002-2027 due June 26, 2026, specifying over 200 line items with firm pricing through June 30, 2027. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted an ITB (ITB-26-00289) for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17.8 million, requiring licensed caterers and comprehensive insurance coverage. The code shows consistent activity across school-lunch and congregate-meal procurement but appears as a component within larger food-service rosters rather than as a discrete commodity driver.
