UNSPSC 50593265: Dried Non GMO sundance corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO sundance 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 50593265 Dried Non GMO Sundance Corn, a Commodity code, does not match the state and local procurement activity in the posted opportunities. The recent solicitations under this code span school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and institutional food supply — encompassing fresh produce, grocery staples, milk and dairy, frozen items, and prepared meals across multiple food categories, but dried corn products appear in none of the representative opportunities. The code's nominal scope targets a single agricultural commodity; the actual purchasing pattern reflects broad food service procurement for K-12 districts, county school systems, state-supported living centers, and municipal meal programs.

Recent opportunities originate from school districts and boards of education (Bridgeport Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Bulloch County Board of Education in Georgia, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Meriden Public Schools in Connecticut, and Douglas County School System in Georgia), county government (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in Florida with a three-year estimated value of $17.8 million for senior meal services), state agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, State of Georgia), and municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Meriden). School nutrition procurement dominates the activity, with districts issuing RFPs and IFBs for comprehensive food supply and fresh produce under Buy American requirements, USDA compliance, and firm-fixed pricing. Opportunities span the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, Connecticut) and Mid-Atlantic (Virginia), with concentrated activity in Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 IFB (due April 27, 2026) for delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens, Meriden Public Schools' RFP 026-41 (due February 25, 2026, anticipated contract value $3.1 million) for commercial groceries and USDA Foods across 13 sites, Douglas County School System's RFP SN26-003 (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual value $9 million) for food supply and distribution to 32 schools, and Hancock County Board of Education's fresh produce IFB (due June 26, 2026) spanning over 200 line items across multiple produce varieties.
