UNSPSC 50593245: Dried Non GMO pegasus corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pegasus 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 50593245 Dried Non GMO pegasus corn, a Commodity code, does not generate relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—specialty dried corn varieties—finds no match in the recent opportunities block, which documents school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and food service contracts soliciting comprehensive grocery assortments, fresh produce, and prepared meals rather than specific corn commodity lines. The five state and local solicitations posted between June and January 2026 span school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, Meriden, Douglas County), county systems (Hillsborough County, Florida), and state agencies (Georgia, Texas HHSC) procuring food for child nutrition programs, senior congregate and home-delivered meals, and institutional food service. None of these opportunities isolate dried corn as a distinct line item or emphasis, and the UNSPSC code assignment appears misaligned with the actual scope of work being bought.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia (Douglas County, Bulloch County, Savannah-Chatham, State of Georgia fresh produce and food supplies), Florida (Hillsborough County), and Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), with additional opportunities in Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia. Representative recent procurements include Meriden Public Schools issuing RFP 026-41 (closed February 25, 2026) for comprehensive commercial groceries and USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of $3.1 million, and the Douglas County School System issuing RFP SN 26-003 (due February 18, 2026) for food supply and distribution services supporting 25,500 students with estimated annual spend of $9 million. These contracts target integrated food service distribution, not commodity-specific procurement. The code shows no active solicitation aligned with dried corn specialty products under state and local purchasing.
