UNSPSC 50603246: Frozen Non GMO phenomenal corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO phenomenal 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 50603246 Frozen Non-GMO Phenomenal Corn, a Commodity code, encompasses frozen corn products that state and local governments procure as part of broader school nutrition and institutional food service programs. Recent solicitations show that this code sits within larger procurements for frozen and fresh produce, with the actual buying driven by school districts and state agencies seeking USDA-compliant food items for student meal programs, institutional cafeterias, and food service operations. The work is grounded in line-item food bids where frozen vegetables including corn compete against other commodity proteins, grains, and produce within comprehensive food service awards. School districts emphasize domestic sourcing, low-sodium formulations, whole-grain standards, HACCP compliance, and products free of artificial additives and high-fructose corn syrup in accordance with state nutritional standards and legislative mandates such as Texas HB 314.

Issuing bodies are primarily K-12 school districts and state procurement offices across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with recent activity concentrated in Georgia and Texas school systems. The Early County Board of Education (Georgia), Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System (Georgia cooperative purchasing through GEC Buying Cooperative), Rockwood R-VI School District (Missouri), City Schools of Decatur (Georgia), and Dallas Independent School District (Texas) have all posted food solicitations between January and June 2026 with response dates ranging from February through June 2026. Representative opportunities include the Douglas County School System RFP SN 26-004 for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts with approximately $5.5 million estimated annual spend (due March 4, 2026); Early County Board of Education's line-by-line food bid for the National School Lunch Program across three schools (due June 8, 2026); and Dallas ISD's RFP for various food products for Food and Child Nutrition Services with contract period May 29, 2026 through May 28, 2027. All solicitations require firm pricing for the full contract term, delivery to school sites between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on weekdays, compliance with Buy American and E-Verify requirements, maintenance of $1,000,000 minimum general liability insurance, and HACCP plan documentation.
