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 is a Commodity code that covers specialty frozen corn products for state and local food service and procurement. The recent state and local opportunities under this code show activity centered on institutional food purchasing — school lunch and breakfast programs, county senior services, and state agency food supply contracts. School districts and county governments are the primary buyers, sourcing frozen vegetables and fresh produce alongside broader food and non-food items to support nutrition programs and meal services. The code captures items that meet specific sourcing preferences including domestic production, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and products free of artificial additives, reflecting a trend toward healthier institutional food procurement aligned with USDA nutrition standards.

The recent activity is concentrated in Georgia, where Early County Board of Education posted an IFB for approximately 300+ food items including vegetables and fruits for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program (due June 8, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requested an IWQ for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Georgia itself posted an IFB for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (due June 22, 2026). Delivery and quality standards are strict: Early County requires temperature-controlled logistics for perishables, minimum shelf life on receipt, and HACCP compliance; Gwinnett County requires F.O.B. Destination delivery within 72 hours of order and inside delivery to specified locations. Award criteria emphasize lowest responsive and responsible bidder pricing, with price escalation subject to USDA or CPI documentation on a six-month basis.
