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 is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under recent state and local opportunities tagged to it. The recent opportunities span broad food and consumable procurement for school nutrition programs, state-supported living facilities, senior meal services, and institutional kitchens—encompassing fresh produce, groceries, packaged meal boxes, and prepared meal delivery rather than dried corn products specifically. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District), county commissions (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia). Most opportunities are driven by the National School Lunch Program, Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content, and compliance with USDA nutrition standards and CFR Title VII requirements.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the City of Bridgeport's IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items (RFP/IFB BNB052266, due June 30, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumables supporting the El Paso State Supported Living Center (IFB, due July 11, 2026, historical value $1.5 million), Hancock County Board of Education's IFB SN002-2027 for fresh produce across 200 line items (IFB, due June 26, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB-26-00289 for senior meal preparation and delivery services (ITB, due June 25, 2026, estimated three-year value $17.8 million), and the State of Georgia's solicitation PE55645NONST2026000000009 for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). The code shows low relevance to dried non-GMO corn procurement and should be recoded or reassessed against actual commodity spend patterns if pursuing school nutrition or institutional food service contracts.
