UNSPSC 50603214: Frozen Non GMO cotton candy corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO cotton candy 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 50603214 Frozen Non GMO cotton candy corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring frozen specialty snack items for school nutrition programs and institutional food service. Recent solicitations show school districts and state education agencies purchasing frozen and fresh produce items, snacks, and prepared foods to support National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations. However, the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations specifically for frozen non-GMO cotton candy corn or closely related frozen specialty snacks. The opportunities instead reflect broader frozen foods, fresh produce, and grocery procurement by school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System) and state agencies (State of Georgia) that encompass frozen items as part of comprehensive line-item food service bids. The mismatch between the code's specific commodity and the solicitations retrieved suggests minimal recent targeted activity for this narrow product category.

Activity under this code is concentrated in Georgia and Missouri school district nutrition programs, with secondary activity in Texas and broader state-level food procurement. The most recent opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid due June 8, 2026 (IFB format, encompassing 300+ food items); City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB due May 15, 2026; and Douglas County School System's fresh produce and food supply RFPs (due March 4 and February 18, 2026 respectively). These solicitations emphasize firm pricing, whole-grain and low-sodium formulations, HACCP compliance, $1 million general liability insurance, Buy American provisions, and delivery to school sites on specified schedules. None of these recent bids isolates frozen non-GMO cotton candy corn as a line item or category, indicating the code may see activity only incidentally as part of larger snack or frozen-item lots rather than as a standalone procurement vehicle.
