UNSPSC 50593261: Dried Non GMO spring treat corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO spring treat 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 50593261 Dried Non GMO spring treat corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy this product primarily as part of broader school nutrition procurement—specifically as an ingredient or snack item within K-12 meal programs and institutional food service contracts. The code sits narrowly within food commodities tied to meal compliance, nutrition standards, and federal Buy American requirements that dominate school food purchasing. Buying entities are predominantly school districts and state education agencies, with secondary activity from county health departments and municipal nutrition programs serving seniors or institutional populations.

Recent opportunities show the code embedded in larger grocery and fresh produce solicitations rather than as a standalone item. Representative recent activity includes the City of Bridgeport's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 grocery line items (including snack items) for the Bridgeport Board of Education, the Bulloch County Board of Education's May 2026 IFB for comprehensive food products across multiple categories, and the Pascagoula-Gautier School District's April 2026 bid for packaged meal boxes under the Summer Food Service Program. Fairfax County Public Schools' April 2026 Master Grocery K-12 contract (IFB 2000004323) and Meriden Public Schools' February 2026 RFP for commercial groceries and USDA Foods (anticipated value $3.1 million) further illustrate the integration of this commodity within district-wide food supply agreements. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Virginia, and Mississippi, reflecting school district procurement clusters. Buy American requirements (minimum 51% domestic agricultural content), nutritional standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act, HACCP compliance, and firm fixed pricing for 12-month contract periods are standard compliance drivers. The code shows sustained low-to-moderate activity primarily as a line item within larger master grocery or specialty snack procurements rather than as a standalone vendor opportunity.
