UNSPSC 50603255: Frozen Non GMO seneca starshine corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO seneca starshine 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 50603255 Frozen Non GMO seneca starshine corn is a Commodity code capturing a single frozen corn product line that state and local governments procure primarily through school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. Recent solicitations show school districts and state agencies buying frozen corn as part of broader fresh-produce, frozen-food, and grocery-item procurement bundles rather than as standalone line items. The code reflects a narrow commodity within the much larger food service supply category—frozen corn appears as one line item among dozens or hundreds in district-level grocery and produce bids. State and local issuing bodies include school districts (Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System, Dallas Independent School District), state procurement offices (State of Georgia), and regional buying cooperatives (GEC Buying Cooperative serving multiple Georgia districts). School districts dominate the purchasing base, procuring food for National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program compliance, with meal volumes ranging from approximately 6,900 daily lunch participants in smaller districts to 32,000 daily meals in larger systems.

Recent opportunities span Georgia, Missouri, and Texas, with the heaviest concentration in Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia procurement offices. Representative recent solicitations include the Early County Board of Education's line-by-line grocery bid (RFP PE55045NONST2027000000006, response due June 8, 2026) encompassing approximately 300 food items with emphasis on whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives; the City Schools of Decatur's IFB for frozen foods and grocery items (IFB PE77310NONST2026000000018, due May 15, 2026) requiring HACCP plans and 24/7 food-recall accessibility; and the Douglas County School System's cooperative-buying RFP for fresh produce and eggs spanning 30 school districts across Georgia (RFP PE64810NONST2026000000047, due March 4, 2026) with estimated annual spending of approximately $5.5 million across both geographic areas. Frozen corn, when present, typically commands firm pricing for the entire contract period (July 1 through June 30 fiscal years), delivery to multiple school sites Monday through Friday during breakfast and lunch service windows, compliance with USDA Buy American provisions and HACCP documentation, and transportation costs included in the unit price with no separate fuel surcharges permitted.
