UNSPSC 50603202: Frozen Non GMO alpine corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO alpine 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 50603202 Frozen Non-GMO Alpine Corn, a Commodity code, encompasses specialty frozen vegetable products sourced to meet specific agricultural and dietary specifications for state and local food service operations. Based on recent state and local solicitations, this code captures demand for frozen produce items meeting organic, non-GMO, and regional sourcing criteria — typically as line items within broader food service procurements rather than standalone commodity contracts. State and local governments purchasing under this code include school districts (elementary through secondary), state departments, and county education systems. School nutrition programs represent the primary buyer segment, procuring frozen vegetables as components of National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program meal cycles. Issuing bodies soliciting frozen produce and related items span state departments of education, independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional school system networks that manage centralized food procurement. The frozen non-GMO specification tier itself appears infrequently as a standalone line item but surfaces within comprehensive food service bids that enumerate dozens or hundreds of produce, protein, and grain products.

Recent opportunities show concentrated activity in Georgia and Missouri. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two geographic areas with an estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited bids for grocery items encompassing over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, and dairy products for the 2026-27 school year, with electronic bid submissions due April 29, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with bids due May 15, 2026 for the 2026-2027 school year. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) requested line-by-line bids for food and non-food products supporting school meal programs with bids due June 8, 2026, specifying domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. Dallas Independent School District (Texas) issued an RFP for various food products with a due date of April 2, 2026, covering the 2026-2027 school year. Solicitations emphasize firm pricing for contract periods, compliance with USDA Buy American provisions and food safety standards including HACCP plans and food recall procedures, and delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during breakfast and lunch preparation windows.
