UNSPSC 50603245: Frozen Non GMO pegasus corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO pegasus 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 50603245 Frozen Non GMO pegasus corn, a Commodity code, covers frozen corn products state and local governments procure for food service operations, including school lunch programs, senior services, and institutional food distribution. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing frozen corn alongside broader food procurement buys—shelf-stable products, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, and prepared items for meal programs and community services. The code's scope reflects institutional food sourcing where frozen vegetables anchor nutrition requirements, domestic-sourcing preferences, and USDA program compliance drive purchasing decisions.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments, state departments, and school districts. Georgia dominates recent activity: Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners posted an IFB (PE77023NONST2027000000782) on October 13, 2026 for approximately 1,062 cases of shelf-stable food items due October 19, 2026, delivered to the Gwinnett Senior Services Center; the State of Georgia posted an IFB (PE55645NONST2026000000009) in May 2026 for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with a June 22, 2026 response date; and Early County Board of Education posted an IFB (PE55045NONST2027000000006) in May 2026 for food and non-food products supporting the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, with bids due June 8, 2026 and award anticipated 60 days after bid opening. The Early County solicitation explicitly emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, reflecting nutrition and sustainability priorities in institutional procurement.
