UNSPSC 50603235: Frozen Non GMO kandy korn corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO kandy korn 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 50603235 Frozen Non-GMO Kandy Korn Corn, a Commodity code, shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The eight recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code or related to frozen or specialty corn products do not reflect procurement of frozen non-GMO candy corn specifically. Instead, the opportunities span broad food service categories—fresh produce, eggs, grocery items, spices, ice cream, and general food supply and distribution—issued primarily by school districts and state agencies supporting child nutrition and school meal programs.

The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System) and state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), with activity concentrated in Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the Douglas County School System's RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs posted February 4, 2026, with a response deadline of March 4, 2026, covering estimated annual spending of approximately $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two across a 30-district buying cooperative; the Rockwood R-VI School District's grocery items bid due April 29, 2026, encompassing over 900 line items across snacks, fruits, vegetables, breads, dairy, and prepared entrees for the 2026-2027 school year; and Dallas Independent School District's RFP for various food products due April 2, 2026, seeking multiple suppliers for items not available through main commodity food bids, excluding artificial colors and high-fructose corn syrup per Texas Legislative Bill #314. No solicitation in the dataset specifically names frozen non-GMO candy corn as a line item or procurement category, indicating the code may be misaligned with current state and local contracting demand or represents a negligibly small subset within broader food service procurement.
