UNSPSC 50603209: Frozen Non GMO butter and sugar corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO butter & sugar 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 50603209 Frozen Non-GMO Butter and Sugar Corn, a Commodity code, nominally addresses a single frozen-corn product line, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance. Instead, the code has been applied to broader food-service solicitations spanning multiple commodity categories — fresh produce, frozen foods and groceries, dairy products, eggs, and various prepared items — primarily for school nutrition programs and state operations. The actual buying pattern diverges substantially from the code's narrow product specification.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recent opportunities posted by Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Douglas County School System; Georgia state agencies have also solicited under this code for general food procurement. Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN26-004 for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts in two geographic areas (due March 4, 2026, with estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two); Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program support (due June 8, 2026, with 300+ food items plus non-food supplies); City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026, with delivery to ten school sites); and Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery-items bid encompassing over 900 line items (due April 29, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, with secondary presence in Missouri and Texas. The code shows routine school-nutrition procurement activity but no specific recent opportunities aligned with frozen non-GMO corn as a discrete product category.
