UNSPSC 50603227: Frozen Non GMO how sweet it is corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO how sweet it is 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 50603227 Frozen Non GMO how sweet it is corn, a Commodity code, shows limited relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single frozen corn product, but the most recent solicitations in the dataset tag broader food procurement categories—fresh produce, frozen and grocery items, food supply and distribution, eggs, and miscellaneous food service products for school nutrition programs—rather than commodity-specific frozen corn contracts. State and local governments use this code tier to name individual product lines, yet the opportunities posted under or near this classification span multi-item food service bids encompassing dozens or hundreds of line items across produce, proteins, dairy, grains, and supplies. The issuing bodies are school districts and state departments in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas seeking food service suppliers for child nutrition programs serving thousands of students daily.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia school districts (Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, City Schools of Decatur, Early County Board of Education) alongside state-level procurement from the State of Georgia and district-level contracting from Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri and Dallas Independent School District in Texas. The Douglas County School System issued separate RFPs for fresh produce and eggs (due March 4, 2026, estimated annual spend $5.5 million across two geographic regions) and food supply and distribution services (due February 18, 2026, estimated annual spend $9 million), while Savannah-Chatham County Public School System solicited fresh produce annually (due April 23, 2026, 72 line items), City Schools of Decatur issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (due May 15, 2026), and Early County Board of Education requested line-by-line bids for food supporting the National School Lunch Program (due June 8, 2026, 300+ food items). Vendors pursuing this code should recognize that procurement officers tag broad food service RFPs and IFBs with commodity codes that may not match specific product lines, and the actual buying opportunity lies in multi-vendor food service supply contracts rather than single-product frozen corn procurement.
