UNSPSC 50603220: Frozen Non GMO double gem corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO double gem 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 50603220 Frozen Non GMO double gem corn, a Commodity code, sits within a broader food-procurement landscape where state and local governments—primarily school districts and state agencies—buy frozen vegetables and related food products for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and general supply operations. Recent solicitations under and around this code show school districts and state purchasing offices acquiring frozen corn alongside broader frozen-food and fresh-produce categories as part of comprehensive child nutrition service contracts. The issuing bodies are predominantly large school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District, and Douglas County School System) and state agencies (Georgia Department of Education and related purchasing entities). These buyers typically issue annual or multi-year contracts for line-item or lot-based food procurement tied to the school year or state fiscal calendar, with delivery schedules structured around Monday-through-Friday operational windows and temperature-controlled logistics.

Recent activity centers in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with the most visible procurement momentum in Georgia school systems. Representative current opportunities include Early County Board of Education's June 8, 2026 line-by-line food bid (RFP/RFQ format) encompassing 300+ food items including vegetables and grains for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs; City Schools of Decatur's May 15, 2026 Invitation for Bid for frozen foods and grocery items across ten schools with whole-grain and low-sodium specifications and Buy American compliance; Douglas County School System's March 4, 2026 RFP for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two Georgia regions with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spending; and Dallas Independent School District's April 2, 2026 RFP for various food products excluding main commodity bids, covering the May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027 school-year period. All contracts emphasize HACCP compliance, food-recall procedures, domestic-sourcing preferences, temperature-controlled delivery, and firm pricing for the contract term, with most school districts reserving the right to award to multiple vendors on a line-item basis.
