UNSPSC 50603239: Frozen Non GMO medley corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO medley 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 50603239 Frozen Non-GMO Medley Corn, a Commodity code, captures state and local procurement of frozen vegetable medleys and commodity produce used in food service operations. The recent solicitations under this code reveal that state and local governments buy frozen vegetables primarily for school nutrition programs (National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs), county senior services, and institutional food service. The work involves supplying shelf-stable and frozen food products meeting USDA specifications, domestic-sourcing preferences, and nutritional standards including low-sodium and whole-grain formulations where applicable. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Gwinnett County), state purchasing offices (State of Georgia), and school district boards of education (Early County Board of Education). Scope emphasizes compliance with food safety protocols including HACCP plans, temperature-controlled delivery and rotation requirements, recall procedures, and biosecurity policies, with vendors required to provide multiple references and maintain substantial general liability insurance.

Georgia dominates the recent activity under this code. The most recent opportunity is Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' informal written quote (IWQ 140229) for approximately 1,062 cases of food items including canned vegetables and shelf-stable proteins, due October 19, 2026, with delivery required to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center by December 7, 2026 and F.O.B. destination pricing.
