UNSPSC 50603205: Frozen Non GMO aspen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO aspen 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 50603205 Frozen Non-GMO Aspen Corn, a Commodity code, shows minimal direct procurement activity in recent state and local opportunities; the code itself does not align with the work actually being solicited under related opportunities. State and local governments purchasing under this code's Family and Class tiers are procuring school meal programs and institutional food service across wide geographic regions, but recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity code do not isolate frozen non-GMO aspen corn as a discrete line item or primary focus. The issuing bodies pursuing food procurement include state departments (Georgia), county school systems (Early County, Douglas County, Savannah-Chatham County in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri), and independent school districts (Dallas Independent School District in Texas, City Schools of Decatur in Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the solicitation base, with districts seeking main-line food distributors, produce suppliers, and commodity vendors on annual contract cycles tied to July 1 through June 30 fiscal years.

Recent opportunities show heavy concentration in Georgia and Missouri school districts executing competitive IFBs and RFPs for fresh produce, frozen foods, grocery staples, and full-line food service distribution during the February through June 2026 solicitation window. The Douglas County School System issued parallel RFPs for Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026, estimated annual expenditure $9 million) and Fresh Produce and Eggs through the GEC Buying Cooperative (RFP SN 26-004, due March 4, 2026, estimated $4.4 million Area One and $1.1 million Area Two across 30 districts). Dallas Independent School District solicited various food products for Child Nutrition Services (RFP due April 2, 2026) with strict prohibitions on artificial colors, flavors, and high fructose corn syrup per Texas Legislative Bill 314. Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) sought grocery items with over 900 line items (bid due April 29, 2026), while Savannah-Chatham County Public School System and City Schools of Decatur both issued IFBs for fresh produce and frozen foods (due April 23 and May 15, 2026 respectively). The specific Commodity code shows no discrete recent solicitation explicitly requesting frozen non-GMO aspen corn as a line item, indicating limited or incidental procurement activity at this granular product level.
