UNSPSC 50603201: Frozen Non GMO aloha corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO aloha 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 50603201 Frozen Non GMO aloha corn (Commodity) does not reflect the actual procurement activity recorded under this code. The recent state and local solicitations consistently tag food-service contracts for fresh and frozen produce, meats, dairy, grains, and grocery items destined for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and state operations — not specialty corn products. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District all active within the past four months. State procurement offices (Georgia) and individual school system nutrition departments post regularly under this code despite the nominal scope mismatch. The work being solicited is line-item food bidding for USDA School Lunch and Breakfast Program compliance, with vendors required to meet strict specifications on whole grains, sodium limits, artificial additives, HACCP plans, buy-American provisions, food recall procedures, and temperature-controlled delivery to individual school sites.

Georgia and Missouri school districts drive recent activity. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026) spanning 300+ food items plus non-food supplies across three schools under an IFB; City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP compliance and 24/7 recall accessibility across ten school sites; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh-produce bid (due April 23, 2026) encompassing 72 produce items for 60 schools with Net 40 payment terms; Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items solicitation (due April 29, 2026) covering 900+ line items with electronic bidding through NUTRIKIDS; and Douglas County School System's cooperative procurement for fresh produce and eggs through GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026) estimated at $5.5 million across 30 districts. Dallas ISD's February RFP (due April 2, 2026) sought various food products excluding spice and ice cream lots, emphasizing non-preferred ingredients compliance per Texas Legislative Bill #314. Contract periods typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options, pricing held firm through the school year, and delivery windows restricted to early-morning school hours with temperature requirements for refrigerated and frozen goods.
