UNSPSC 50593256: Dried Non GMO seneca white knight corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca white knight 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 50593256 Dried Non GMO Seneca White Knight Corn, a Commodity code, does not reflect what state and local governments are actually buying under this tag. Recent opportunities solicited under this code show no relevant procurement activity for dried corn or commodity-specific agricultural products; instead, issuers have tagged comprehensive food-service contracts—school nutrition programs, senior meal delivery, grocery supply for institutional facilities—that span dozens or hundreds of line items across protein, produce, dairy, grains, and prepared foods. The code appears to be a classification mismatch within state and local procurement systems rather than a meaningful buying category. State and local food-service solicitations are issued by school districts, county boards of education, city purchasing departments, state health and human services agencies, and transit or senior-services authorities; the recent activity shows no repeat buyers specifically seeking dried corn as a standalone commodity.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities includes Connecticut (Meriden Public Schools), Florida (Hillsborough County), Georgia (Douglas County School System, Bulloch County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, State of Georgia), Mississippi (Pascagoula-Gautier School District), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission for El Paso State Supported Living Center, City of Dallas), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools). Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' IFB 2000004323 for Master Grocery K-12 (due April 27, 2026), seeking grocery product supply and delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Meriden Public Schools RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026) for commercial groceries, beverages, produce, and USDA Foods with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million; Douglas County School System RFP 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services (due February 18, 2026) with estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million to supply approximately 32,000 meals daily; and Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners ITB 26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services (due June 25, 2026) with estimated three-year contract value of $17.8 million. No relevant opportunities exist to pursue under this code as coded.
