UNSPSC 50603229: Frozen Non GMO illini gold corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO illini gold 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 50603229 Frozen Non GMO Illini Gold Corn, a Commodity code, does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The source contains eight opportunities spanning February through June 2026, but none specifically solicit frozen corn or align with this code's nominal scope. The opportunities instead target broad food-service categories — fresh produce, eggs, frozen foods and groceries, spices, ice cream, and main-line food distribution — without itemizing frozen corn products.

School districts and state procurement offices in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas dominate the recent activity. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Georgia), Dallas Independent School District (Texas), and Douglas County School System (Georgia) each issued RFPs or IFBs for school nutrition program supplies between February and June 2026, with response dates ranging from February 18 through June 22. The State of Georgia issued two separate procurements — one for food, supplies, and kitchen products (due June 22, 2026) and one for fresh produce (due May 27, 2026). The Douglas County School System's RFP for fresh produce and eggs, issued February 4, 2026 with a March 4 deadline, projected estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across a 30-district cooperative buying arrangement. None of these solicitations explicitly mention frozen corn, non-GMO specifications, or commodity-level produce procurement that would align with this code.
