UNSPSC 50603221: Frozen Non GMO earlivee corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO earlivee 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 50603221 Frozen Non-GMO Earlivee corn, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable and fresh produce that state and local governments procure for food service operations, though recent activity under this specific code reflects broader food procurement patterns rather than frozen corn alone. State and local issuing bodies acquire food products primarily through county purchasing departments, state departments, and school district food-service programs. The work involves competitive bidding on food line items—typically shelf-stable products, proteins, dairy, produce, and specialty items—delivered to multiple end-use locations including senior centers, schools, and institutional kitchens with strict quality, labeling, temperature, and delivery-window requirements.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Georgia. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items for its Department of Community Services, with quotes due October 19, 2026, requiring delivery to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center in Lawrenceville by December 7, 2026, and F.O.B. destination with inside delivery. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid due June 22, 2026. Early County Board of Education solicited line-by-line bids on 300+ food items and 60+ non-food and paper supplies for the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs, with bids due June 8, 2026, contract running July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, and emphasis on domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives. All three opportunities required vendors to meet Buy American, E-Verify, HACCP, debarment-verification, and insurance-compliance standards where applicable, with awards based on lowest responsive and responsible bidding and pricing evaluated per unit of measure.
