UNSPSC 50593247: Dried Non GMO platinum lady corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO platinum lady 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 50593247 Dried Non GMO platinum lady corn (Commodity) represents a narrow ingredient specification within the broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement market, where state and local governments buy commodity ingredients and finished food products to supply cafeterias, senior meal programs, and congregate dining facilities. The code itself is highly specific—a single corn variety—but recent state and local solicitations show that purchasing under this tier typically occurs as line items within much larger grocery or food supply contracts rather than as standalone procurements. School districts, county governments, state health and human services agencies, and municipal food service departments issue RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, and ITBs for food and consumable products that encompass dozens or hundreds of line items, many subject to Buy American domestic-content requirements (commonly 51 percent of processed agricultural ingredients), nutritional standards such as the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and HACCP food safety plans.

Recent activity spans the South and Southeast. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicited packaged meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program (IFB, due April 29, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) requested fresh produce across 200 line items for the 2026-27 school year (IFB, due June 26, 2026); the City of Bridgeport (Connecticut) sought over 1,100 line items of grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education via ITB BNB052266 (due June 30, 2026), with 30-day blind sample testing and $1 million minimum liability insurance; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requested food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with an estimated historical value of $1.5 million (IFB HHS0017449, due July 13, 2026); and Hillsborough County (Florida) solicited senior meal preparation and delivery services—a higher-value service contract at $17.8 million over three years (ITB, due June 25, 2026). The State of Georgia also posted a food and kitchen products solicitation in May 2026. The code shows little standalone recent activity; purchase of dried corn as a discrete line item appears embedded within these larger institutional food contracts rather than solicited independently.
