UNSPSC 50593260: Dried Non GMO spring snow corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO spring snow 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 50593260 Dried Non GMO spring snow corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried corn and related dried agricultural commodities, primarily for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show that this code applies to individual line items within larger grocery and food-service procurement bundles—the actual buying reflects institutional food sourcing rather than bulk commodity trading. Issuing bodies include school districts (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Pascagoula-Gautier School District in Mississippi, Bridgeport Board of Education in Connecticut), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and county governments (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida). These jurisdictions source dried and fresh produce items through competitive sealed bids and IFBs, with delivery schedules tied to school calendars, senior centers, and state-supported living facilities.

Recent opportunities span Connecticut, Georgia, Mississippi, Texas, and Florida. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items due June 30, 2026, subject to Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content) and National School Lunch Program compliance. The Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited fresh produce for the 2026-27 school year under IFB #SN002-2027, with bids due June 26, 2026, covering over 200 line items across multiple produce categories and delivery to three school sites through June 30, 2027. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center with proposals due July 13, 2026 and a historical annual value of $1.5 million. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) sought sealed bids for Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program packaged meal boxes with a deadline of April 29, 2026. Contract terms typically run twelve months with firm fixed pricing, Net 45 payment terms, and mandatory compliance with USDA nutrition standards, ingredient documentation, HACCP plans, and state health inspection records.
