UNSPSC 50603211: Frozen Non GMO camelot corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO camelot 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 50603211 Frozen Non GMO camelot corn (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within broader school nutrition and institutional food procurement. State and local governments purchase this code primarily as part of comprehensive food-service contracts for school districts, with frozen corn appearing as one line item within larger vegetable, grain, and commodity food solicitations. The actual buying activity under this code is embedded in multi-item RFPs and IFBs issued by school districts and state agencies seeking to fill specific meal-program ingredient needs rather than standalone corn purchases. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with early-county schools, Rockwood R-VI, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System all sourcing frozen vegetables including corn as part of annual child nutrition services contracts. State procurement offices also participate, as seen in Georgia's broader food and kitchen-products solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Missouri, with secondary activity in Texas. The Douglas County School System (Georgia) issued RFP SN 26-003 for Food Supply and Distribution Services in January 2026, seeking approximately $9 million in annual food products and supplies across 32 schools, with proposals due February 18, 2026; frozen vegetables are a line-item component of that scope. Early County Board of Education (Georgia) solicited line-by-line food bids on May 11, 2026, with response due June 8, 2026, explicitly requesting frozen vegetables among 300+ food items for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. The State of Georgia posted a broader IFB for Fresh Produce (April 20, 2026, due May 27, 2026) and food supplies and kitchen products (May 15, 2026, due June 22, 2026). Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) bid grocery items with over 900 line items on April 29, 2026. City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items on April 16, 2026, due May 15, 2026. These solicitations emphasize Buy American sourcing, HACCP compliance, food-recall procedures, and firm pricing across 12-month contract periods; frozen corn, when specified, typically must meet USDA standards and deliver at 41°F or below.
