UNSPSC 50603200: Frozen Non GMO corn

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO corn that has been frozen 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 50603200 Frozen Non GMO corn is a Class code that frames a narrow commodity within the broader food-procurement landscape, yet the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it reflect a much wider scope of food purchasing than frozen corn alone. Gwinnett County's October 2026 informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items—including peanut butter, jelly, canned proteins, rice, pasta, sauces, soups, and canned vegetables—and Early County Board of Education's June 2026 line-by-line bid for 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, and condiments, demonstrate that state and local jurisdictions use this code to solicit mixed food portfolios rather than single-commodity procurement. The State of Georgia's May 2026 food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid adds a statewide dimension. Issuing bodies include county governments (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners), school districts (Early County Board of Education), and state agencies (State of Georgia), reflecting the typical mix of state and local food buyers—with school districts representing the largest user segment given their recurring, high-volume procurement tied to federal nutrition programs.

Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, where three of the three recent opportunities originate. Early County Board of Education's June 2026 bid specifies delivery to three schools Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with contract performance running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and options to extend up to three months, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, and low-sodium formulations; vendors must carry $500,000 general liability insurance and comply with Buy American provisions. Gwinnett County's October 2026 quote, with a response deadline of October 19, 2026, requires delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center within 72 hours when possible and final receipt by December 7, 2026; award goes to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder per unit of measure, with the County reserving the right to split awards by line item. The State of Georgia's May 2026 bid details are not fully disclosed in the posting; questions regarding all solicitations are directed to named county and district purchasing contacts, with electronic payment remittance standard across buyers.
