UNSPSC 50603251: Frozen Non GMO radiance corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO radiance 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 50603251 Frozen Non GMO Radiance Corn is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual scope of state and local food service procurement currently being solicited. Recent opportunities tagged under this code predominantly seek multi-category food products for school nutrition programs, including fresh produce, frozen and canned goods, dairy, grains, and supplies—not frozen corn specifically. The issuing bodies are school districts and state agencies across the South, primarily Georgia, Missouri, and Texas. Contracts are solicited through RFP, RFQ, and IFB notice types with response dates ranging from February through June 2026, with contract performance periods typically aligned to the school fiscal year (July 1 through June 30). School districts dominate the activity, including the Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, and Dallas Independent School District; state procurement also appears through Georgia's general purchasing.
