UNSPSC 50593254: Dried Non GMO seneca horizon corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca horizon 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 50593254 Dried Non GMO Seneca Horizon Corn, a Commodity code, represents a specialized agricultural input that state and local governments procure primarily as a school nutrition staple rather than as a standalone commodity. The recent solicitation activity reflects school districts and education-related agencies buying dried corn as part of broader grocery and food supply contracts for child nutrition programs, though the code appears infrequently as a line-item specification in actual state and local RFPs and RFQs. The overwhelming majority of recent opportunities under or near this code span comprehensive food service procurement—including fresh produce, packaged groceries, USDA commodity distribution, and meal preparation services—where corn derivatives are embedded within larger food supply contracts rather than solicited as a discrete product line. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, including Fairfax County Public Schools (Virginia), Meriden Public Schools (Connecticut), Bulloch County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi), and Douglas County School System (Georgia); state agencies including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and the State of Georgia also procure food supplies in which corn-based products feature. A county government (Hillsborough County, Florida) solicits senior meal services, and the City of Dallas pursues meal delivery for municipal events. The geographic concentration leans heavily toward the Southeast—Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, and Connecticut—with isolated activity in Virginia and Texas.

Representative recent solicitations illustrate the purchasing context: Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004323 on April 6, 2026, for Master Grocery K-12 covering 45 schools and seven distribution centers with a response deadline of April 27, 2026; Bulloch County Board of Education issued IFB #043025 on April 3, 2026, for comprehensive school nutrition grocery products with questions due April 27, 2026, and bid submission closing May 4, 2026; and Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-003 on January 21, 2026, for food supply and distribution services supporting 32 schools and approximately 25,500 students, with proposals due February 18, 2026, and an estimated annual expenditure of approximately nine million dollars. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, solicited grocery items for the Bridgeport Board of Education on June 30, 2026, requiring Buy American provision compliance and compliance with the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. All school nutrition solicitations mandate HACCP plans, nutritional compliance, firm-fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, Monday-through-Friday delivery windows, and adherence to federal child nutrition program rules. The code itself generates minimal standalone procurement activity; dried corn appears as a component within master grocery or food supply contracts rather than as a primary line item. Vendors pursuing this code should target school district nutrition RFPs and state education agency food service procurements where corn-based breakfast items, grains, and staple ingredients feature prominently.
