UNSPSC 50603247: Frozen Non GMO platinum lady corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO platinum lady 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 50603247 Frozen Non-GMO Platinum Lady Corn (Commodity) represents a narrow product line within school nutrition procurement — a specific variety of frozen corn for child meal service — but the code appears in state and local activity alongside broader frozen and fresh produce solicitations that dominate food service contracting. Recent opportunities show school districts and state agencies procuring frozen corn as part of larger food-supply line-item bids rather than as a standalone commodity. The solicitations treat frozen vegetables, including corn varieties, as interchangeable with fresh produce, meats, dairy, and prepared items within comprehensive child nutrition catalogs. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Early County Board of Education in Georgia; Rockwood R-VI in Missouri; Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia; Dallas Independent School District in Texas; Douglas County School System in Georgia), state departments (State of Georgia), and municipal systems (City Schools of Decatur in Georgia). School nutrition procurement dominates the activity under this code's broader family.

Opportunities appear concentrated in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Missouri. Representative recent solicitations include Early County Board of Education (RFP SN26-001, due June 8, 2026, seeking 300+ food items including frozen vegetables under National School Lunch Program); Rockwood R-VI School District Child Nutrition Services (ITB for grocery items with electronic submission via NUTRIKIDS, due April 29, 2026 at 9:45 a.m. CDT, encompassing over 900 line items); Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (Bid 26-34 for fresh produce, due April 23, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET); Dallas Independent School District (RFP for various food products, due April 2, 2026, with designated spice and ice cream lots); and Douglas County School System (RFP 26-003 for food supply and distribution with approximately $9 million estimated annual expenditure, due February 18, 2026). Contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 annually with renewal options. Vendors must meet Buy American provisions, HACCP documentation, federal debarment verification, general liability insurance minimums of $1 million to $2 million, E-Verify compliance, food-recall procedures, and firm pricing with adjustments tied to USDA or CPI indices only when supported by third-party documentation.
