UNSPSC 50593267: Dried Non GMO terminator corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO terminator 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 50593267 Dried Non GMO terminator corn is a Commodity code nominally for a single agricultural product line, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it span institutional food service procurement far more broadly. The City of Bridgeport's Board of Education is procuring over 1,100 grocery line items including cereals, frozen goods, produce, dairy, and proteins for school meals; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is sourcing food and consumable products for a state-supported living center; Hancock County Board of Education is seeking fresh produce across 200 line items; and Hillsborough County is requesting senior meal preparation and delivery services at an estimated value of $17,832,659.90 over three years. These solicitations reveal a code being applied to food service supply chains rather than a commodity-specific procurement. Issuing bodies include school districts (Bridgeport, Hancock County, Pascagoula-Gautier), state health and human services agencies (Texas HHSC), and county government (Hillsborough County). State and local purchasing offices use this code to tag institutional nutrition programs funded through federal child nutrition legislation (National School Lunch Program, Summer Food Service Program, Adult Care Food Program) and state-administered long-term services. Bidders must meet Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items), HACCP food safety standards, specific nutritional compliance (Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act standards, whole grain requirements, allergen restrictions), and carry product liability and workers' compensation insurance.

Recent activity clusters in the Southeast and Southwest. The Bridgeport Board of Education (Connecticut) issued an RFQ with a due date of June 30, 2026, requiring delivery to central warehouse and school sites Monday through Friday, firm pricing, and blind testing of samples by school personnel. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia) issued an IFB due June 26, 2026, for fresh produce across three school locations with 51 percent domestic commodity content and firm pricing through the contract period. The Pascagoula-Gautier School District (Mississippi) solicited sealed bids for packaged 7-day meal boxes under a Child Nutrition Summer Food Service Program contract due April 29, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued an IFB due July 13, 2026, with a historical spend of $1.5 million and pricing adjustments permitted only by CPI-U formula. Hillsborough County's three-year senior meals contract due June 25, 2026, requires caterers licensed on the Florida Department of Elderly Affairs Caterer List. The State of Georgia posted a food supplies solicitation due June 22, 2026, with full scope in an attached document. Most response dates have passed; active procurement under this code is limited to state and local government food service operations in school districts, senior nutrition programs, and institutional care facilities.
