UNSPSC 50603222: Frozen Non GMO early xtra sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO early xtra sweet 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 50603222 Frozen Non GMO early extra sweet corn is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure frozen corn and a broad array of frozen and fresh produce through school nutrition programs, state facility food service operations, and institutional dining. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying frozen vegetables as components of larger food service contracts that span produce, proteins, grains, dairy, and supplies. The Early County Board of Education's FY27 food bid and the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System's fresh produce contract both itemize frozen vegetables alongside fresh produce, though frozen corn specifically appears embedded in broader produce line-item buys rather than as a standalone commodity code. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts—including Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, and Dallas Independent School District—plus the State of Georgia for fresh produce and general food service. School nutrition programs dominate the market segment, with state agency purchases for facility operations appearing less frequently in recent activity.

Geographic concentration is in Georgia and Missouri, with Georgia showing the heaviest recent activity across state-level produce bids, multiple county and city school systems, and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as the GEC Buying Cooperative serving 30 districts across two regions. Recent representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid (due June 8, 2026, IFB), requesting vegetables, fruits, and frozen products for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program; the City Schools of Decatur's frozen foods and grocery IFB (due May 15, 2026) for the 2026-2027 school year; the Douglas County School System's fresh produce and eggs RFP through the GEC Buying Cooperative (due March 4, 2026), covering 30 districts with estimated annual spending of $5.5 million; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products (due April 2, 2026), structured as an as-needed district-wide procurement. School contracts typically specify Buy American provisions, HACCP compliance, food recall procedures, and firm pricing for the contract period, with delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during standard morning hours.
