UNSPSC 50593268: Dried Non GMO treasure corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO treasure 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 50593268 Dried Non-GMO Treasure Corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried corn and related commodity ingredients for food service operations, though recent solicitation activity under this specific code shows minimal direct alignment with typical dried-corn purchasing. The actual work being solicited spans school nutrition programs, senior meal services, institutional food supply contracts, and state facility food service operations. These contracts typically require vendors to provide commodity ingredients meeting National School Lunch Program standards, USDA Buy American provisions (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content), and nutritional compliance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. Issuing bodies include school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and county commission food service departments. Vendors must navigate firm fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges, maintain product liability and general liability insurance at $1 million to $2 million per occurrence, accept electronic ordering systems or competitive bid submission portals, and comply with HACCP plans and state health inspection requirements.
