UNSPSC 50603207: Frozen Non GMO biqueen corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO biqueen 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 50603207 Frozen Non-GMO Biqueen Corn, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product specification within the broader school food service procurement landscape. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase frozen corn varieties meeting specific genetic and agronomic standards, typically as line items within larger district or cooperative food service contracts serving school nutrition programs. The recent state and local opportunities show that frozen produce procurement—including corn and similar frozen vegetables—flows predominantly through school districts and cooperative purchasing arrangements rather than as standalone commodity purchases. School nutrition program procurements aggregate frozen vegetables alongside fresh produce, meats, dairy, and dry goods in single large contracts where frozen corn may represent one of many line items bid competitively.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri school districts and their cooperative purchasing partnerships. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts with estimated annual spend of approximately $5.5 million combined across two geographic areas, with sealed proposals due March 4, 2026. The Rockwood R-VI School District (St. Louis County, Missouri) solicited grocery items including vegetables and frozen products for its child nutrition services with electronic bids due April 29, 2026 via NUTRIKIDS. The City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items with bid opening May 19, 2026, and the Early County Board of Education (Georgia) released its FY27 food bid with 300+ line items spanning frozen and fresh produce, due June 8, 2026. These school district procurements structure frozen produce as competitive line items within multi-vendor awards, typically requiring HACCP plans, Buy American compliance, food safety certifications, and general liability insurance of $500,000 to $1 million. Pricing must remain firm for contract periods ranging from one to three years, with quarterly or semi-annual adjustments permitted only when supported by USDA Agricultural Marketing Service or other third-party market data. No set-asides or restrictions on organization type appear in the recent opportunities; evaluation emphasizes lowest responsive bid, product quality, and vendor capability to meet delivery schedules and compliance requirements.
