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 is a Commodity code that captures frozen vegetable products procured by state and local school nutrition programs. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily school districts sourcing frozen vegetables and produce to support National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs. The solicitations show districts purchasing frozen vegetables alongside fresh produce, dairy, meats, and prepared items as part of comprehensive food service operations. Recent opportunities reveal substantial line-item bidding for frozen vegetables integrated within broader child nutrition grocery procurements—Early County Schools (Georgia) specified frozen vegetables among 300+ food items for NSLP/SBP delivery; City Schools of Decatur (Georgia) issued an IFB for frozen foods and grocery items meeting whole-grain, low-sodium, and zero-trans-fat specifications; and Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri) solicited bids on 900+ grocery line items including frozen products. The issuing-body mix is predominantly school districts—both standalone district operations and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Early County Schools, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, Douglas County School System, and Rockwood R-VI represent the recent soliciting jurisdictions. The code also sees state-level procurement: the State of Georgia issued a general food, supplies, and kitchen products IFB in May 2026 and a fresh-produce IFB in April 2026, though the specific frozen medley corn commodity was not explicitly itemized in the summaries provided.
