UNSPSC 50603228: Frozen Non GMO hudson corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO hudson 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 50603228 Frozen Non GMO Hudson Corn, a Commodity code, covers frozen corn products that state and local governments procure primarily for school meal programs and senior services food distribution. Recent opportunities show procurement focused on shelf-stable and frozen food items for nutrition programs serving schools and vulnerable populations. Issuing bodies include county boards of education, county commissions operating senior services, and state education or food-service departments. The work involves competitive bidding for line-item food supply contracts where vendors quote unit pricing on specific food products, with awards typically made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Contracts require compliance with USDA meal program standards, food safety and handling protocols including HACCP plans, Buy American provisions, and general liability insurance. Delivery terms typically mandate F.O.B. Destination with inside delivery to school cafeterias or senior centers on specified schedules, often Monday through Friday during morning hours, with temperature-control requirements for perishables and stock rotation by sell-by date.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, with the Early County Board of Education issuing an IFB for approximately 300+ food items supporting National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs (due June 8, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items for senior services (due October 19, 2026), and the State of Georgia posting a broader food supplies and kitchen products bid (due June 22, 2026).
