UNSPSC 50593258: Dried Non GMO silver queen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO silver queen 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 50593258 Dried Non GMO silver queen corn is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of specialty dried corn products for institutional food service, though recent solicitations show the code seeing minimal direct targeting. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily school districts and county health and human services agencies. The City of Bridgeport Department of Public Purchases issued an RFP (BNB052266) in June 2026 for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including dried corn products for the Bridgeport Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services Department, with bids due June 30, 2026, and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB (HHS0017449) in June 2026 for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center, with proposals due July 13, 2026. Both solicitations required firm fixed pricing, compliance with nutritional standards under the National School Lunch Program and Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, and Buy American provisions mandating minimum domestic agricultural content. The Bridgeport opportunity specified delivery to a central warehouse and designated school sites on a 48×40 pallet basis with 24-hour emergency backup stock capability, blind laboratory testing of samples at vendor expense, and $1,000,000 per occurrence liability insurance. The Texas solicitation covered food service, supply services, and on-campus canteen operations with a historical prior-period value of $1.5 million and evaluation based on best value rather than lowest price alone.

Recent activity appears concentrated in school nutrition procurement and state-level institutional food service contracts across Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB (#SN002-2027) in June 2026 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items with delivery to three school locations and a contract term of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, while Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida issued an ITB (ITB2600289) in June 2026 for senior meal preparation and delivery services with an estimated three-year value of $17,832,659.90. The State of Georgia posted a solicitation (PE55645NONST2026000000009) in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products due June 22, 2026, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi solicited packaged meal boxes for the Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program under Bid No. 609-26 with sealed bids due April 29, 2026. The code shows sporadic recent targeting rather than sustained demand, with opportunities clustering in school nutrition and county-level food service contracting.
