NIGP codes for 50603208
Definition
The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO bodacious 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.
About UNSPSC 50603208
UNSPSC 50603208 Frozen Non GMO bodacious corn is a Commodity code that captures frozen corn products sourced under state and local food procurement, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied broadly to shelf-stable and fresh food purchasing across multiple food-service contexts rather than frozen specialty corn specifically. State and local governments use this code to tag food-service contracts that supply school lunch programs, senior services, institutional kitchens, and other public-benefit meal operations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county purchasing offices sourcing for senior services, and state purchasing departments; Gwinnett County and the State of Georgia both posted opportunities in 2026, with school districts such as Early County Board of Education actively soliciting food supplies including frozen, fresh, and shelf-stable items in the same RFQ cycles. The scope of work under recent solicitations spans hundreds of line items—proteins, produce, grains, dairy, condiments, and non-food kitchen supplies—with emphasis on USDA compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, and items without added sugars or artificial additives; delivery schedules are tight (72 hours when possible, within strict morning windows), and vendors must maintain temperature control, stock rotation, and food-safety documentation such as HACCP plans and recall procedures.
Recent activity concentrates in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an informal written quote (IWQ) on October 13, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for senior services, with delivery to Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026 and pricing evaluated per ounce or equivalent unit; the State of Georgia posted a food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid on May 15, 2026 (due June 22, 2026) with full scope in an attached document; and Early County Board of Education posted a line-by-line food bid on May 11, 2026 (due June 8, 2026) for approximately 300+ food items and 60+ non-food supplies supporting the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs across three schools, running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 with options to extend and allow piggybacking by other districts. Vendors must provide references, certify non-collusion, comply with Buy American and E-Verify requirements when contract value exceeds $2,499.99, carry minimum general liability insurance ($500,000 for school bids), and accept firm pricing for 15 days post-award with escalation or de-escalation considered only every six months on documented USDA or CPI data, with price increases above 3% permitting districts to source provisionally elsewhere.
