UNSPSC 50603210: Frozen Non GMO calico belle corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO calico belle 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 50603210 Frozen Non-GMO Calico Belle Corn is a Commodity code, and state and local governments are procuring this through general food service and school nutrition solicitations that bundle frozen vegetables with broader frozen-foods and fresh-produce categories rather than as standalone specialty items. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies requesting frozen and fresh produce items as part of comprehensive food-service bids that span multiple product lines—meats, dairy, grains, vegetables, and specialty items—delivered to central warehouses or school sites on regular weekly schedules. The issuing bodies are predominantly K-12 school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia). School nutrition programs dominate the activity, with districts emphasizing domestic sourcing, USDA compliance, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, HACCP food-safety certification, and product specifications that often exclude artificial additives—attributes aligned with the non-GMO designation on this code.

Recent opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and Missouri, with one Texas solicitation. Representative solicitations include Early County Board of Education (Georgia, RFP, due June 8, 2026) seeking line-by-line bids for 300+ food items including fresh and frozen produce for the National School Lunch Program, with firm pricing for a July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 term; Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (Missouri, IFB, due April 29, 2026) requesting over 900 grocery and produce line items with electronic NUTRIKIDS submission to support 6,900 daily lunch participants; and Douglas County School System (Georgia, RFP, due February 18, 2026) issuing a buying-cooperative fresh-produce and eggs solicitation across 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend split between two geographic areas. No solicitation identifies frozen non-GMO calico belle corn explicitly; the code appears tagged at the procurement level but is one line item among hundreds within larger food-service and produce contracts. All school-district contracts require delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday on firm pricing with Buy American and E-Verify compliance, general liability insurance from $500,000 to $2,000,000, and no separate fuel surcharges.
