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 (Commodity) covers a specific frozen vegetable product that state and local governments purchase as part of school nutrition and institutional food service operations, though recent solicitations show limited direct procurement activity specifically tagged to this code. School districts, county education systems, and state agencies are the primary buyers, with the focus on supporting child nutrition programs under the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. Early County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Rockwood R-VI School District, and City Schools of Decatur have all issued recent RFQs and IFBs for frozen and fresh food products serving their child nutrition operations, though most solicitations encompass broad categories of frozen foods, vegetables, and grocery items rather than Hudson corn specifically.

Georgia and Missouri show the most recent activity, with Douglas County School System in Georgia managing a multi-district cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative) that covers 30 school districts across two geographic regions; Early County Board of Education in Georgia issued an IFB with a response deadline of June 8, 2026, and the Rockwood R-VI School District in St. Louis County, Missouri solicited bids by April 29, 2026. The City Schools of Decatur, Georgia and Dallas Independent School District in Texas have also posted frozen foods and grocery procurement notices with response dates in April and May 2026. Notably, the code does not show sustained single-vendor or specialized frozen Hudson corn procurement—most recent opportunities bundle frozen corn with dozens of other vegetable, fruit, grain, and protein items in comprehensive food service bids. Vendors typically compete on line-item pricing within broader product categories rather than supplying Hudson corn as a standalone line item, suggesting that pursuit under this code would require positioning within a broader frozen vegetable or grocery offering to school districts and institutional buyers.
