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 that represents a specific frozen vegetable product line purchased by state and local governments, though recent state and local solicitations do not isolate this commodity in standalone procurements. Instead, governments buy frozen and fresh produce as part of broader food-supply contracts that aggregate vegetables, proteins, dairy, and shelf-stable items into single awards. The code sits within the produce and vegetable category, and when state and local buyers reference frozen corn or similar vegetables, they typically embed the line item within larger food-service RFQs or competitive bids that specify brand or quality equivalent rather than exact varietal designation. Issuing bodies acquiring under this code's scope include county governments (Gwinnett County), state departments (State of Georgia), and school districts (Early County Board of Education), with school districts representing the most active recent buyer segment given ongoing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program purchasing cycles.

Recent opportunities in Georgia illustrate the purchasing pattern. Early County Board of Education posted a June 8, 2026 bid deadline (Solicitation PE55045NONST2027000000006) for approximately 300+ food items spanning meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grains, emphasizing domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without added sugars or artificial additives, with contract performance July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ 140229) with October 19, 2026 deadline for 1,062 cases of shelf-stable and specialty food products including canned vegetables destined for senior services. The State of Georgia posted a broader food, supplies, and other kitchen products bid (PE55645NONST2026000000009) due June 22, 2026. Activity concentrates in Georgia jurisdictions; no recent opportunities outside Georgia appear in the dataset.
