UNSPSC 50593248: Dried Non GMO precocious corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO precocious 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 50593248 Dried Non GMO precocious corn is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged with this code—Meriden Public Schools' commercial grocery and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 02641, due February 25, 2026)—does not actually solicit dried non-GMO precocious corn as a distinct line item; rather, it encompasses a broad range of commercial groceries, beverages, fresh produce, and further processed USDA Foods across 13 school sites serving 8,200 students. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work solicited suggests this code has little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

School districts and food service authorities across Connecticut, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, and Virginia are actively procuring food products and meal services through numerous IFBs and RFPs during 2026, but the activity clusters around fresh produce, general groceries, and prepared meals rather than specialty dried corn products. Fairfax County Public Schools (IFB 2000004323), Bulloch County Board of Education (IFB #043025), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34), and the Douglas County School System (RFP SN 26-004 and RFP SN 26-003) all issued substantial food procurement solicitations in early 2026, with estimated annual values ranging from $3.1 million (Meriden) to $9 million (Douglas County). These opportunities specify hundreds of line items across cereals, grains, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, meats, and supplies, but none identify dried non-GMO precocious corn as a procurement target. The code does not align with observed state and local buying patterns.
