UNSPSC 50603238: Frozen Non GMO maple sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO maple sweet 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 50603238 Frozen Non GMO maple sweet corn is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure frozen vegetable products, typically as line items within broader food-service procurement solicitations rather than as standalone commodities.

State procurement bodies, county governments, and independent school districts solicit under this code, with issuing bodies including the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and the Early County Board of Education. The work encompasses sourcing frozen vegetables meeting USDA nutrition standards, domestic sourcing preferences, and delivery specifications tied to institutional meal programs. Vendors must comply with food safety protocols, carry appropriate liability insurance when contract values exceed thresholds, and satisfy E-Verify and debarment verification requirements for bids above $25,000.
